At dinner last night my dear friend Anne had phoned the restaurant early, and had ordered a beautiful bottle of champagne on ice to be waiting for us when we arrived. So while I'm away, I've certainly been able to celebrate.

You guys must really have nailed it. Well done. All very worthy sounding topics.
I imagine there could be quite a lot of co-operation between the History of Emotions and Cognition and its Disorders.
Oh and Population Ageing Research, too!
WV 'imphyper', which strikes me as a tautology. Surely imps are hyper by definition.
Congrats from us at the Macquarie Cog Sci centre MACCS and the cognition/ disorders CoE, and yes I second Kerryn's thought that we can find common ground and cooperate! History of emotional disorders, and more. I also work in history of science and Renaissance cultural history myself as well as on memory, so I'm particularly delighted and hopeful about such links! Cheers and well done you all, John
History of Emotions... so much to think about in this vast field from group therapy/analysis to art and music. Exciting times ahead!!!
Thanks, all, and specially to John. Congratulations on your centre, too! Such a long drawn out and difficult process.
But yes, we should definitely get our centres to talk together: could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship...
Thanks Stephanie! I don't know who's in the History of Emotions group but a quick chat after Simon Schaffer's (wonderful) talk to HPS at UNSW today found at least one person I know involved in the UQ node, yay, so we were already plotting on emotions-passions schemes. Great stuff. Cheers, John (john.sutton@mq.edu.au)
