- This single authored monograph was the culmination of 4 years of ethnographic research on the flavours suffusing East London. The sensory ethnography involved the development of innovative methodologies including olfactory inventories and sensory elicitation walks. The writing of the book necessitated techniques to textually represent a remarkable plurality of urban sensations and to connect them with broader sociological research on multiculturalism and urbanity. While each chapter forms its own discrete argument, the chapters build to an over-arching, sustained argument about the sociology of the senses and the vitality of urban life.
