Sorry I’ve been missing from here lately. Candidate life has me so busy. But all the hard work is paying off as I’m now on the list of next-gen scholars in my main sub-field of specialty

Yesterday, I hosted a workshop at the AGSA conference at IU. We delved into the concept of olfactory mapping and examined how the coffee industry constructs olfactory maps. We explored new ways to describe sensorial experiences by drinking coffee. #coffee #academics #phd

Does anybody working with the senses love Anthony Seeger’s piece Anthropology and Order: From Manhatten to Mato Grosso as much as I do?
