Dr Ally Louks @drallylouks.bsky.social · 02/12/2024A couple of answers to commonly asked questions: 1. No, my thesis is not currently available to read - it’s under embargo while I publish its content in various forms. I’ll share more as and when I can :) 7897433
Dr Ally Louks @drallylouks.bsky.social · 02/12/20242. I’m currently working on two postdoc projects: one on cultures of olfactory dysfunction and one on olfactory queerness. Any reading recommendations welcome for either! And can explain more (still just spread a bit thin at the moment) 163507
Barry C Smith @barrycsmith.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Would strongly recommend Marta Tafalla 2013 ‘A world without the olfactory dimension’ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23907763/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.govA world without the olfactory dimension - PubMedThis article aims to describe what is it like to perceive reality when suffering from congenital anosmia.

Muiread O’Hanlon @muireadohanlon.bsky.social · 11/12/2024The late Dr Victoria Henshaw, a student of mine, wrote Urban Smellscapes a decade ago. Well worth looking at. www.routledge.com/Urban-Smells... #smellscapes #olfactoryresearchroutledge.comUrban Smellscapes: Understanding and Designing City Smell EnvironmentsWe see the city, we hear the city, but above all: we smell the city. Scent has unique qualities: ubiquity, persistence, and an unparalleled connection to memory, yet it has gone overlooked in discussi... 010
Dr Ally Louks @drallylouks.bsky.social · 02/12/20243. For anyone who isn’t on X, my thesis is titled ‘Olfactory Ethics: The Politics of Smell in Modern and Contemporary Prose’. I’ll include the abstract here so everyone can see which texts I worked on and a summary of my ideas. 8084775
Sam 🌒 | #1 Bed Chem stan @4evernothingnew.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Olfactory queerness sounds like such an interesting topic, I wish you luck on your projects! 040
Anni @annprk.bsky.social · 03/12/2024I left English Lit after my Bachelor's to do law, but your research has me hooked again! 010
Jonathan Birch @birchlse.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Can recommend talking to @barrycsmith.bsky.social + @smellosopher.bsky.social. 020
Minh Truong @justminhty.bsky.social · 02/12/2024I wonder if Yosh Han/@scent_festival on Instagram or Nurim Mcbride would be good resources. Both tackle interesting and complex ideas on fragrance such as cultural history of fragrance or decolonizing scent- but not in literature as your thesis seems to be, so this may not be too helpful 030
akimmi @mylifeisayikes.bsky.social · 03/12/2024congratulations on your PhD 🥳🥳your project on olfactory queerness sounds so interesting and I’d love to hear more about it. Good luck with everything 💕💕 030
Jo Michael Rezes, Ph.D. @jmrezes.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Hi Ally!! Jas Brooks and Claire Bunschoten are some names in the States to connect with on olfactory studies! And I currently research cultural parosmia and acquired taste in HIV/AIDS media. Would love to chat! 230
Claire Turner @claireturner.bsky.social · 03/12/2024not a recommendation as such but just to say I'm currently working on sensory dysfunction / impairment in a historical setting and would be interested to hear more about your work! 000
justificand-writes.bsky.social @justificand-writes.bsky.social · 31/12/2024I would love to hear more about the cultures of olfactory dysfunction. Thinking of applying for doctoral school soon and your thesis made me aware that I may have been overlooking some elements of political discourse in democracies re politics of smell 000
Viet Dinh @vietdinhsci.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Hooked on olfactory queerness and eager to find out more. You rock by the way! 050
Lauren Hurley @lhurley.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Sounds interesting, will look forward to hearing more! 010
Tatanya D. Valland, Phd, ms.spelling @tatdv.bsky.social · 03/12/2024Interesting subjects. In an interview Maret describes the memory of her father's smell changing when he meets the local police: Fear.

Lynn Bird @lynnjbirds.bsky.social · 03/12/2024When I was pregnant, both times, I loved tyre shops and new shoes. I was a sniffer, a deep sniffer. I am thinking about it now & it brings me joy. Never gotten to the bottom of that. 010
