Empathy: Approaches and Implications for a Divided World
Are you attending the APS (Association for Psychological Science) Annual Convention in Barcelona, Spain this May?
The Love Consortium (TLC) invites you to join us for Empathy: Approaches and Implications for a Divided World. This full-day event will feature the latest research on empathy from scholars across multiple disciplines and geographies. Together, we’ll explore empathy’s role in early development, its implications for interpersonal relationships and group dynamics, as well as the potential costs to engaging in empathic behaviors across contexts. Importantly, this event seeks to create space for empathy researchers studying the construct from different approaches and using different methodologies to connect with one another, share insights, and learn from areas of convergence and disagreement. Through talks and discussion, we aim to identify both tensions and opportunities to build a more rigorous, collaborative, and impactful science of empathy.
More about the event
This event will take place in-person in Barcelona, Spain on May 28, 2026 and is an official partnership with the Association for Psychological Science. As such, although there are no additional fees to attend TLC’s Empathy Preconference, all participants must be registered for the broader APS convention in order to attend. You can learn more about registration fees and dates on the APS convention website. We are currently working with the APS event team to identify the best way to track registration for this event and will be in touch once we have more information. Like our prior small conferences, this event will be capped at 80 people and we will curate the program to ensure ample time throughout the day for attendees to connect with one another and engage in intellectual discourse. All-day coffee, snacks, and lunch will be provided.
Official program and more details coming soon.
WEBINARS
Join us for an upcoming informational webinar! During our time together, we will give an overview of The Love Consortium Dataverse, explain the process to post a dataset description, and answer any questions you may have. Each webinar takes about 30 minutes, but we reserve the full hour for additional conversation, should the Q&A portion run over.
