special track of the Sunbelt 2022 conference, which is taking place
both *in-person
and online* from *July 12-16, 2022*.

the inner workings of political and legal bodies such as legislatures or
courts; understanding how threats within a network create needs for allies,
particularly in international relations; examining where bullying emerges
in schools or organizations; exploring how positive and negative emotion
are structured within our cognitive semantic networks; how perceptions of
negative ties poses unique challenges in organizational research; examining
how relational ambivalence affects relational trajectories; and how
