Session description

In this session we explore sensory methods – methods that are attuned to the complex ways that the senses are entangled with other forms of experience and ways of knowing. Although we will bear in mind the interplay between the different senses, we will focus on what it means to eschew the dominance of the visual and turn our attention to the other senses of hearing, taste, smell and touch, but also the role of extrasensory perception. We explore some examples of how to collect and analyse sensory data and how you could incorporate the senses in your own research, with practical exercises focusing particularly on sound and listening.
