Emma Hutchison, 'Humanitarian Emotions Through History: Imaging Suffering and Performing Aid' - a podcast by The ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions (Europe 1100-1800)

Emma Hutchison is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Political Science and International Studies at The University of Queensland, and an Associate Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for the History of Emotions. Her research examines trauma and emotions in world politics, as well as how the emotional dimensions of disaster images shape humanitarian practices. This paper, delivered at a conference on ‘Emotions, Media and History: Theory and Practice’ at The University of Adelaide on 23 September 2016, investigates the development of ‘humanitarian emotions’ through images, and argues that emotions are pivotal to transforming how we think about others’ suffering.
