Interest in sensory experiences of the past has grown in recent years, with scholars engaging with interdisciplinary approaches in order to better understand historical lived experiences. This annual conference explores the visual, auditory, tactile, gustatory and/or olfactory experiences across the globe between c.1400 and c.1700.

This year’s conference, ‘Sensory Subjectivities’, welcomes papers that consider sensory experiences as instances or reflections of identity and alterity and which discuss possible methodologies and approaches to this particular subject.

Registrations is only available for both days together (6-7) June. More details including the draft conference programme can be viewed here: https://www.torch.ox.ac.uk/event/sensory-subjectivities-conference-2024
