The Conference takes place from 3-5 July<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The aim of the interdisciplinary conference \u201cThe \nShadow Side of Gratitude\u201d is to bring together experts from a range of \nfields to examine the potentially darker side of this everyday social \nemotion and valued human excellence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In recent years there has been growing academic \ninterest in the topic of gratitude, in psychology, philosophy and \neducation, amongst other fields. Psychologists have examined the role of\n gratitude in promoting wellbeing and fostering good social \nrelationships. Philosophers have pondered the conceptual contours of \ngratitude and have debated whether gratitude is always a virtue, while \neducationalists have looked at whether and how gratitude should be \nfostered in the young. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
While many experiences of gratitude are<\/em> life-affirming, the concept may not be as straightforwardly positive as many people have assumed. It is not uncommon for gratitude to be experienced with mixed emotions, such as embarrassment, shame and guilt. Beneficiaries may be suspicious of benefactors\u2019 motivations in bestowing favours, gifts and compliments which could serve an ulterior purpose. It could be argued that gratitude to benefactors serves to keep marginalised groups in their place, and that cultivating gratitude makes a virtue out of an unwanted dependence on others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n https:\/\/www.uni-erfurt.de\/max-weber-kolleg\/forschungsgruppen-und-stellen\/forschungsgruppen\/mwk-fellows\/events\/conference\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Conference takes place from 3-5 July The aim of the interdisciplinary conference \u201cThe Shadow Side of Gratitude\u201d is to bring together experts from a range of fields to examine the potentially darker side of this everyday social emotion and valued human excellence.
