We like to think of humans as rational creatures, who have relied on calculation and intellect to survive, but many of the most important moments in our history had little to do with cold, hard facts and a lot to do with feelings.

How have our understanding and experience of #emotions changed over time?

Richard Firth-Godbehere's talk will explore how our beliefs about feelings have profoundly shaped us and our world.

Richard will take you on a fascinating, wide-ranging tour of the central and often under-appreciated role emotions have played in human societies around the world and throughout history.

Richard Firth-Godbehere PhD, is one of the world’s leading experts on disgust and emotions. He is an Honorary Research Fellow at the Centre for the History of the Emotions, Queen Mary University of London.
