"Bislang läuft das Metaverse nur schleppend an, vielleicht weil [...] nicht zu viele, sondern zu wenige Sinne angesprochen werden, [...] weil der Geruchssinn darin eben nicht stimuliert wird."

Hello fellow kids! I'm a #sensoryhistory #smellhistory #smellheritage #smellstudies scholar working on the past, present and future of smell. I used to just be an #earlymodern & #18thC historian but now I do interdisciplinary work on anything relating to smell from the 1600s to the future. I've got a book coming out early next year on why humanities and social science scholars need to stop (only) reading and start smelling #environmentalhumanities #environmentalhistory #medicalhumanities
