A Sensory Education takes a close look at how sensory awareness is
learned and taught in expert and everyday settings around the
world. Anna Harris shows that our sensing is not innate or
acquired, but in fact evolves through learning that is shaped by
social and material relations. The chapters feature diverse sources
of sensory education, including field manuals, mannequins,
cookbooks and flavour charts. The examples range from medical
training and forest bathing to culinary and perfumery classes.
Offering a valuable guide to the uncanny and taken-for-granted ways
in which adults are trained to improve their senses, this book will
be of interest to disciplines including anthropology and sociology
as well as food studies and sensory studies. The Open Access
