Meeting Description: 

The Swiss Center for Affective Sciences is happy to announce the third International Summer School in Affective Sciences (ISSAS 2011), to take place from August 22 to 31 at the Château de Bossey, near Geneva (Switzerland).

The school will be devoted to the topic 'Emotion Expression and Communication'. The emphasis will be placed on verbal and non-verbal approaches from an interdisciplinary perspective.

The expression of emotions through face, voice, and body is a central component of the emotion process: together with the perception of social signals and the resulting inferences, expression forms the basis of emotional communication in both animal and human interactions.

This summer school proposes a comprehensive survey of fundamental theories of expression and impression - both verbal and non-verbal -, major research paradigms and results, and cutting-edge methodologies from the vantage point of different disciplines, including psychology, neuroscience, ethology, philosophy, musicology, literature, linguistics, rhetoric and the arts.

In addition to covering general theoretical tools, hands-on workshops in small groups will be conducted on research methodologies, multimodal emotion communication, computational modeling of emotional expression, and the expressive resources of music, language (rhetoric, literature) and the arts.

The summer school is designed for 40 participants, selected to represent a wide variety of scientific backgrounds (disciplines, laboratories, and levels of advancement in their scientific careers).

Application deadline: April 30 , 2011
Notification of acceptance: May 31 , 2011
Registration deadline: August 10 , 2011

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return 
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact 
your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple 
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
