The Society for the History of Emotions (SHE) and its Chapter, the Ibero-American Society for the History of Emotions and Experiences (SIHEX), are pleased to announce the Fifth Biennial Conference of the Society for the History of Emotions, to be held at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, 28–30 October 2025, with the theme “Emotions at the Borders/ Limits.” This event will explore experiences and expressions that arise in liminal situations, whether at the intersection of different emotions, during high-intensity experiences, or in the lives of individuals navigating cultural, linguistic, and identity transitions.

We welcome proposals that examine embodied experiences of spirituality and religiosity, emotional experiences of alienation in border spaces or in relation to animals and the environment, as well as research on the boundaries of bodily, mental, emotional, and sensory experiences.

By bringing together scholars from diverse disciplines, we hope to foster interdisciplinary discussions that deepen our understanding of how emotions shape – and are shaped by – the boundaries and borders that exist between people and their environment.
