Dear IRI-USP Community,

The San Tiago Dantas Graduate Program in International Relations and the Institute of International Relations at the University of São Paulo invite the International Relations community to attend the Research Seminar on Emotions and International Relations. On this occasion, we will welcome speaker Prof. Filipe Campello, and we invite members of the Emotions and International Relations Working Group (IRI-USP) to share a little about their respective research.

The Study Group on Emotions and International Relations invites everyone to a chat about Affections in International Relations! Emotions are not left out of politics or the international system (or international scene) – on the contrary, they help us understand decisions, conflicts, and ways of coexisting in the world.

We will welcome Filipe Campello, philosopher, professor at UFPE, and author of the book “Critique of Affects,” to exchange ideas on how feelings also drive international relations.

When: Friday, July 25, at 2:00 p.m.

Location: Room C - 2nd floor of the IRI
