Emotions are complex elements of human behaviour and interaction and our understanding of them is constantly developing. They vary across cultures and, therefore, time. They have a history. In this episode Dr Mark Rothery: https://pure.northampton.ac.uk/en/persons/mark-rothery discusses the history of emotions with Dr Paul Jackson. The podcast begins with a review of the history of emotions, then the discussion turns to Mark's present work in the area and closes with the present COVID-19 crisis and the impact this is having on people's emotions.
