My Session Status

What:
Workshop
When:
6:00 AM, Friday 9 May 2025 (1 hour 30 minutes)
Theme:
In-person
Organizers: Nina Morris ∆ (School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh, Scotland) and Kate McLean-MacKenzie ∆ (University of Kent, UK)

 

Early Morning Smellwalk led by Kate McLean-MacKenzie. Starting in Mont Royal park at 6.00am this guided early morning smellwalk (limited to 10) will lead participants through the city’s ‘morning’ olfactory landscape. As a research methodology that involves exploring a place with a focus on the smells you experience, the goal of a smellwalk is to identify, describe, and understand the nature and cultural significance of the smells encountered together data collected through an air quality technology which will record volatile organic compounds, particulate matter, and nitrogen dioxide. The opportunity to re- focus individual sensory input, receiving smells as the primary source of information about the world, and replacing eyes with noses at this time of day will start to uncover the multisensory qualities associated with the smells of morning.

Keywords: Smellwalk, smells, morning, nose-first, dawn
