In this episode, I spoke with Dr. Tracey Lauriault of the Communication and Media Studies program at Carleton University. Dr. Lauriault is trained as a geographer, and among her many research interests is scent cartographies. So we took this opportunity to discuss the sense of smell and how we use it as a means of engaging with the world around us. What might we learn about the city on the basis of how it smells? And is smell a modality that could be useful in the context of urban design?
This episode is guest produced by Vancouver-based sound artist, activist, and educator Helena Krobath.
