[CogSci] Call for Abstracts: CogSci Pre-Conference Workshop on Affective Cognition

[Desmond Ong]

Dear colleagues,

We are very pleased to announce a pre-conference workshop on Affective Cognition (website here <https://affcog.github.io/>) at the 2021 annual conference of the Cognitive Science Society (CogSci 2021 <https://cognitivesciencesociety.org/cogsci-2021/>). In addition to invited talks, we would love you to present your research during our poster session! See below for information about submitting abstracts.  

About the workshop:
Affect is often considered the opposite of cognition: Cognition is rational while affect is irrational; cognition is cold while affect is hot. This workshop, however, will introduce an emerging domain of work that brings the two together: Affective Cognition. This new domain investigates how humans reason about affect using interdisciplinary approaches, including developmental, computational, neural, anthropological, and machine learning methods. We will bring together a stellar lineup of speakers who are leading scholars on affective cognition and introduce this young, interdisciplinary domain to our scientific community.
Workshop Title: Interdisciplinary Advances in Affective Cognition
Invited Speakers: Drs. György Gergely <https://people.ceu.edu/gyorgy_gergely>, Eric Walle <https://idlab.ucmerced.edu/node/17>, Daniel Dukes <https://dukes.space/>, Seth Pollak <https://psych.wisc.edu/staff/pollak-seth/>, Vanessa LoBue <https://sasn.rutgers.edu/about-us/faculty-staff/vanessa-lobue>, Kara Weisman <https://kgweisman.github.io/about.html>, Mark Thornton <https://pbs.dartmouth.edu/people/mark-thornton>, Anat Perry <https://scholars.huji.ac.il/perrylab>, and Rebecca Saxe <https://saxelab.mit.edu/>

Interested researchers are encouraged to submit the following:
A title
All authors (identifying the presenting author) and corresponding affiliations
