Edited Volume on the Concept of Empathy – Call For Papers

Following the successful ‘Ethics of Empathy’ symposium last October, Juanita Ruys, Director of ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions Sydney node, is looking to bring together an edited volume of essays on the concept of empathy.

Given the popularity of this theme at present, she has decided to focus the volume strictly around the idea of the contingent history of empathy, or the periods and historical contexts in which empathy was viewed negatively.

If you would like further information, a copy of the volume’s rationale, or to submit an abstract for a paper to be considered for inclusion in the volume, please contact Juanita at juanita.ruys@sydney.edu.au.

Abstracts should be between 200 and 350 words and received by 31 May 2015. Please include a short (2-3 line) bio with the abstract.
