20 November 2025The Institute for Advanced Study in Toulouse (IAST) and the Toulouse School of Economics and Quantitative Social Sciences (TSE) will host the conference on Disgust across Borders: Multidisciplinary Perspectives on a Core Emotion organized by Cécile Sarabian (IAST), Catherine Molho (TSE), & Arnaud Tognetti (CEE-M)
Conference Theme
This international conference will bring together researchers from diverse disciplines— including psychology, political science, evolutionary biology, and related fields—to explore the basic yet multifaceted emotion of disgust. The meeting will aim to bridge disciplinary divides, incorporate cross-species perspectives, and examine applications of disgust research in politics, conservation, and animal welfare. We hope that this conference will mark the beginning of a recurring series, with Disgustology as a unifying theme.
