Training Taste | Wednesday 23 March 2022 | 4:00pm UK Time | Online

POSTPONED IN SOLIDARITY WITH STRIKE ACTION

The ‘Taste as a Form of Knowledge Production’ Research Group at gloknos invites you to the fourth session of their current seminar series, hosted by Marieke Hendriksen (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, Amsterdam) and Alex Wragge-Morley (Lancaster University).

This session addresses the notion that taste can be trained – both in the sense that individuals can learn to like things they did not previously enjoy, and in the sense that they can enhance their capacity for sensory experience. Sometimes, these two senses are intertwined, when people learn to discriminate more finely between sensory experiences, and in so doing learn to identify new forms of pleasure.

Information about the speakers will be made available as soon as possible.

To join via Zoom, or if you have queries about this event, please don’t hesitate to email
