These are some of the words you hear if you ask a class of 9 and 10 year olds to list all the emotions they can think of....from @DevelopingEmo project.

I´m asking historians of emotions, and SEL practitioners who are interested in this connection, to write to me, comment,...and get all in touch.

Un ejemplo de relación entre estos campos de conocimiento y propuesta actual seria el proyecto de @DevelopingEmo . A current good example, in my view of a project that wants to integrate those fields.

¿Qué diran los historiadores de las emociones, dentro de X años, de esta corriente de la educación emocional actual?. Ideas, comentarios,...¿What historians of emotions are going to say, in X years, about this SEL trend?. Thoughts/comments,... #emohistorians

"What is the history of emotions, and why does it matter? Lessons for psychologists and schoolchildren."

If you'd like a 2-minute introduction to our @DevelopingEmo schools project - may I recommend this short film made by @QMUL_HSS
I talk about our aim to improve emotional literacy in primary schools through the history, philosophy, and representation of emotions.
"Over centuries we've found so many different ways to think about, experience and deal with feelings; looking to the past can liberate us from what can be quite narrow #MentalHealth language today" - @ProfThomasDixon on the #HistoryOfEmotions qmul.ac.uk/history/research/… @QMHistory

One of the questions on the questionnaire I give Year 5 focus groups when I visit schools is
"Quickly write down what feelings you have when you think about being at school"
Many children come up with a mixture of happy, sad, bored, or excited.
My favourite so far: "educated".
