Advanced Seminar in Emotion

This course provides a deep dive into the science of emotion. We will engage with primary readings on dominant theories, historical perspectives, ongoing debates, methods of study, recent innovations, and translational applications in this field. We will assess the strengths and weaknesses of different methods for generating both basic scientific understanding of emotions and translational impact. Students will play a substantial role in co-creating course discussions through in-class presentations, and the final will be a high-level research paper that aims to move the field forward through either a theoretical synthesis or study proposal.
