Making sense of sensory studies

Sensations, often considered as solely physiological phenomena, are in fact deeply influenced by culture, as the pioneering scholars on historical and archaeological sensory studies argue. Without understanding the sensory landscape of historical societies, our knowledge of the past remains inevitably limited. The key theme of this conference is to bring to Denmark the people, who are at the forefront of developing new methods to investigate past sensations. The event is aimed at sharing the best solutions and methodological developments in the recent sensory scholarship.
