Had an amazing time in lovely Leeds; also considered burglaring the #thackraymuseum' phenol display for, hum, 'science'. All thanks to @claireturner.bsky.social for the invitation and the flawless organising of the Medecine and the Senses workshop! #sensorystudies #medicalhumanities #chstm
Le mardi 26 mai prochain, on pourra discuter olfaction et pollution de l'air (en ligne & en français) grâce à une invitation de l'association Olf'active! Au menu: tanneries, rivières, usines, carburants et autres joyeusetés 🙊 Info: www.helloasso.com/associations... #envhist #envhum #airpollution
Today marks exactly 2 years since I submitted my PhD dissertation. Since it passed, it is now open access as required for public-funded research in France. Feel free to DL, send, cite, enjoy bits and pieces of almost 10 years of thinking about smell! Link: research.manchester.ac.uk/en/publicati...
Etude importante sur la proximité entre industrie et risque de pathologies respiratoires ⬇️ www.santepubliquefrance.fr/docs/bassins... A lire aussi l'HDR de C. Gramaglia : "Habiter la pollution industrielle" (www.pressesdesmines.com/produit/habi...)
My paper on spatial segregation, class, air and smell in 19th c Paris has been published OA by the amazing team at Venti Journal! And here it is: www.venti-journal.com/manon-raffard #smellstudies #sensoryhistory #classinequality #envhum #envhist #urbanhistory
Also, tmr at 3PM (CET), I'll discuss all things air, smell and early social housing policy, including particularly innovative toilet ventilation systems (not kidding), with V. Jankovic @manchstm.bsky.social and S. Lachapelle @wlupress.bsky.social for @concordiau.bsky.social Uncommon Senses V!
Tmr I'm attending my first conference ever as a panel organizer for "Uncommon Senses V: Sensing the Social, the Environmental, and Across the Arts and Sciences"! The panel is titled "Inhuman Smell: Olfaction and Interspecies Histories" and will interest both #envhum and #smellstudies people!
New article out! It talks about blood, medical uses of aromatic resins, cultural vitalism and BDSM culture in fin-de-siècle Francophone culture (esp. Rachilde & D'Annunzio). Available through your institution here: shs-cairn-info.proxy-bu1.u-bourgogne.fr/revue-otrant... If not, DM me for a copy!
Smelly friends and history of science enthousiasts please assemble: I'll be exploring representations of olfaction, harmony and the nervous system (in French) next Tuesday (Feb 25) at 12:15 PM Paris time on Zoom, for a @cnrs.fr webinar. Access free, zoom link on demand. All disciplines welcome!
From the Huttington Library IG. #smellstudies people you know the drill: sniff your loved ones this VD
Proofs are proofing :) (Otrante journal, soon on @cairninfo.bsky.social)
Alors, entre amateurs de mousses et lichens, je t'invite à venir faire un jour le GR13 dans le Morvan qui est un peu le paradis du briophile et a un peu ambiance de forêt humide tempérée type pays de Galles !
Dans le même genre, cherchant des mousses, je suis tombée sur cladonia fimbriata aujourd'hui
