EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

In spite of recent circumstances, the CSS and its members have been particularly productive and
the centre maintained a full schedule of events. Collectively, members published 6 books and
special issues, including one single-authored book (Hillary Kaell), one book of poetry (Madelaine
Caritas Longman), two edited collections (John Potvin, Carolina Cambre) and two journal special
issues (Marc Lafrance, David Howes). In addition, members published 61 journal articles or book
chapters, organized 16 multi-media installations and exhibitions, and gave 94 conference
presentations and invited talks. The CSS also held many events and activities, including the annual
Sensory Studies Student Essay competition. The CSS also held 2 public lectures, and co-sponsored
1film screening, 2 exhibitions, and 2 conferences (in association with the Centre for Oral History
and Digital Storytelling and the Curating and Public Scholarship Lab). The international
interdisciplinary conference “Uncommon Senses III: The Future of the Senses” has been
postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but plan are moving forward to hold in May 2021,
with a slightly different subtitle: “Back to the Future of the Senses.” Membership is being
renewed actively with three new faculty members and seven new students. Centre members
singly and jointly secured a total of $1,798,340 in new research grants, bringing the total amount
of on-going funding for sense-based research initiatives to $3,452,298. Jordan LeBel is currently
being onboarded as the new co-director after Bianca Grohmann’s term came to an end. The CSS
is thus poised for continued success and leadership in the area of sensory studies with
development plans finalized and being implemented for 2020-2026.

INTRODUCTION
             Much has happened at the CSS this past year. With the pandemic, some plans
             had to be revised but in spite of circumstances, the CSS and its members have
             been particularly productive. Indeed, the collaborations and collaborative
             mindset established at the CSS are yielding dividends and creating numerous
             ripple effects. Members published an impressive list of works across a wide
             variety of disciplines, highlighting the CSS’ role as an effervescent catalyst for
             innovative collaborations and groundbreaking research. The CSS also hosted
             2 public lectures, and co-sponsored 1 film screening, 2 exhibitions, and 2
             conferences (in association with the Centre for Oral History and Digital
             Storytelling and the Curating and Public Scholarship Lab). The annual Sensory
             Studies Student Essay First Prize was awarded to Rebecca van der Post for a
             writing entitled “Yesterdayness: Capitalism, Ethnocide, and the Sensory
             Structures of Accumulation”. After co-directors Grohmann and Howes led a
             series of consultation sessions with members, mid- and long-term
             development plans were put together. The mid-term plan envisions 10 new
             projects which will be rolled out over the next 2-3 years and the ambitious but
             feasible long-term plan involves advancing on 4 researches axes and 6
             clusters. This report provides a top-level overview of activities with detailed
             lists of members, publications, projects and grants available in appendices.

             ABOUT THE CENTRE
             The Centre for Sensory studies (CSS) was constituted as a faculty research
             centre (Arts and Science) in January 2012. The CSS received recognition as a
             university research centre (emergent category) in April 2016. The Senate
             Research Committee recently approved the Centre’s renewal and promoted
             it to the status of established (medium scale) university research centre. The
             CSS now boasts an impressive list of members across Concordia faculties and
             beyond, all engaging in ground-breaking collaborations.

             MISSION
             The CSS serves an interdisciplinary collaboration platform for research in the
             social life and history of the senses, multisensory aesthetics, sensory design
             and marketing, and the development of technologies for expanding the
             sensorium in innovative and groundbreaking ways.

REVIEW OF ACTIVITIES 1 JUNE 2019 - 31 MAY 2020 - David Howes, Co-Director Sociology and Anthropology Faculty of Arts and Science - Centre for ...
The leadership of the CSS is assured by two co-directors, nominated for
a period of four years. Bianca Grohmann (Marketing, JMSB) stepped
down from her position as Co-Director of the Centre on May 30th.
Jordan Le Bel (Marketing, JMSB) was selected to replace her for a four-
year term, effective June 1. Co-Director David Howes (Sociology &
Anthropology) agreed to a three-year extension of his term.

On behalf of the CSS, David Howes expressed gratitude to Bianca
Grohmann for her leadership during the crucial first four years of the
Centre’s existence and how much we all look forward to Jordan LeBel’s
tenure, for all the new perspectives and energy he will bring to the CSS.

GOVERNANCE
An advisory committee provides input and guidance to the CSS’ co-
directors. At the moment, the advisors are:
    o Michael Bull (Media and Film, Sussex)
    o Fiona Candlin (Art History, Birkbeck)
    o Richard Newhauser (English, Arizona State)

RESEARCH ORIENTATIONS
The research conducted at the CSS takes place around four main axes.
Additionally, 6 clusters represent emergent areas of research
concentration, where the interests of 3 or more Members coalesce.
These are described below and can be visualized in the CSS
Organigramme of Research in Appendix A.

AXIS 1: CULTURE AND THE SENSES.
The study of the social life of the senses in history and across cultures
and geographies. Involved members: Classen, Howes, LeBel, Lafrance,
Hammond, Stolow, Kaell, French, Halpern, Cambre, Unger, Potvin,
Dokumaci, Cucuzzella, Hsu.

AXIS 2: MULTISENSORY AESTHETICS.
The study of aesthetics in history and across cultures; the creation of
intermedia/multisensory artworks and environments. Involved
members: Salter, Classen, Hammond, Thompson, Vaughan, Cambre,
Unger, Potvin, Dokumaci, Hsu.

                                                  6

AXIS 3: SENSORY DESIGN AND MARKETING.
The study of the sensory turn in the design of objects and spaces and the
‘race to embrace the senses’ in contemporary marketing practice. Involved
members: Grohmann, Le Bel, Howes, Classen, Johnson, French, Salter,
Halpern, Potvin, Cucuzzella.

AXIS 4: SENSORY ENGINEERING AND COMMUNICATION.
The study of technologies as extensions of the senses; the development of
technologies for expanding the sensorium in innovative ways. Involved
members: Johnson, Salter, Howes, Stolow, French, Halpern, Dokumaci.

In addition to these axes the following six Clusters have emerged as areas of
research concentration, where the interests of 3 or more Members coalesce:

● Cluster A: Sensori-Legal Studies. Members include Howes, Lafrance,
  Classen, French, Unger.

● Cluster B: Emplacement. Members include Hammond, Thompson,
  Vaughan, Howes, Unger, Kaell, Hsu, Cucuzzella.

● Cluster C: Disability and the Senses. Members include Johnson, Classen,
  Grohmann, Lafrance, Howes, Dokumaci, Hsu.

● Cluster D: Gender and the Senses. Members include Classen, Lafrance,
  Hammond, Potvin.

● Cluster E: Materiality and Immateriality. Members include Stolow,
  Thompson, Vaughan, Kaell, Unger, Hsu.

● Cluster F: Smartness, the Sensor Society and Sentient Ecologies.
  Members include Halpern, Salter, Howes, French, Cucuzzella.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2020-2026)
During the Fall of 2019, Co-Directors Grohmann and Howes led a series of consultation sessions
at which members collectively reflected on the extant and emergent collaborations among
Centre members with respect to, among other things: the co-supervision of graduate students,
the co-authorship of books and journal articles, the co-creation of art installations, the co-
curation of exhibitions, the enlistment of affiliate members, and the preparation of grant
applications, most notably a Partnership Grant (PG) application to the SSHRC in two-to-three
years’ time.

Medium-Term Plan
The medium-term plan emerged out of this consultation. It envisions 10 new projects which will
be rolled out over the next 2-3 years.

Central to the proposed PG application is the establishment of a research network called the
Sensory Collaboratory where the main objective is to explore the actual and potential role of the
senses in education, exhibition (multimodal art and museology), design and urbanism and to
draw out the implications of a sense-based approach, such as we promote, for the enhancement
of existing techniques, practices and technologies in these four domains. Outcomes will include
a series of methodological treatises, case studies, exhibitions, websites, workshops, international
conferences, and summer schools for the training of the next generation of scholars attuned to
the senses. This PG application has four major focal areas (these represent areas of research
concentration within the four Axes, unlike the Clusters which cut across the Axes):
         1.   Sensory Education.
         2.   Exhibition (Multimodal Arts and Museology)
         3.   Sensory Design
         4.   Sensorial Urbanism

In order to lay the foundation for a successful PG application, we made a number of changes to
the membership and modus operandi of the Centre. Three new members were recruited with
expertise in design (Carmela Cucuzzella), disability and communication studies (Arseli Dokumaci)
and the literary representation of the senses and sense experience, especially smell (Hsuan Hsu).
These three fields figure centrally in the Centre’s midterm and longterm development plans. A
new category of “Affiliate Centre Member” was created. Affiliates are researchers based at other
institutions who collaborate actively with Concordia-based researchers. (Some prospective
collaborators are listed too). We see them as partners for purposes of the PG application. Finally,

we broke with our tradition of combining in twos or threes for purposes of grant applications.
Thus, one of the grant applications (§ 59) submitted in October 2019 involved 7 Centre Members
as co-applicants and 7 local and international collaborators. Much to our delight, this application
met with success.

The full list of current funded research projects and recent as well as planned future grant
applications can be found in Appendix B.

INTERLUDE
 Le poids du soleil
 by student member Gabriel Peña Tijerina, HUMA Ph.D.
 Program

    In 1953, Mathias Goeritz designed “El Eco” in Mexico City, as pure emotional
   architecture. Goeritz's emotion alludes the pre-Hispanic monumentality and prehistoric
   nature transformed into an alchemical process that makes use of color and gold. If emotion
   as a constitutive element of architecture is not linked to the concrete, can we build
   atmospheres of emotions from memories?

    In the middle of a winter night, I remember the golden sun of Monterrey, and Alfonso
   Reyes's poem becomes a golden atmosphere that moves me. If in Goeritz pieces we
   perceive the nostalgic depth of the sun, in the poetry of Reyes we feel its depth. This
   project is the atmospheric construction of Monterrey’s sun based on Alfonso Reyes's poem
   “el Sol de Monterrey.”

MEMBERSHIP
The CSS has a very active membership, which falls into the categories listed below. For a full list
of members by category, please refer to Appendix C.
    o 14 regular members, from 9 different departments across Concordia
   o 5 associate members, from 5 different departments
   o 41 student members
   o 14 affiliate members spanning the globe
   o 6 fellows
   o 2 visiting professors, 1 from the University of Bristol (UK, Summer 2019), 1 from
     Maynooth University (Ireland, Fall 2019)

Five student members graduated (2 Ph.D., 3 Master’s) and seven new students joined the Centre
(5 Ph.D., 2 Master’s).

The Centre welcomed Victoria Bates (University of Bristol as a visiting scholar for the Summer
term 2019 and Sharon Todd (Maynouth University, Ireland) as a visiting scholar for the Fall term
2019 (cross-appointed to the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and Culture). The
Centre also hosted postdoctoral fellows Cristobal Barria and Leon Franzen during the Winter
term 2020.

                                                  10
ACHIEVEMENTS
Centre member Matthew Unger was named Concordia University Research
Fellow (Category A) for 2019-2020 and Carolina Cambre has been named
Concordia University Research Fellow (Category A) for 2020-2021.
Our student members achieved spectacular results in the SSHRC and FRQSC
doctoral fellowship competitions. Laura Enriquez, Joe Thibodeau, Ika Peraic,
Paula Bath and Madelaine Caritas Longman all won doctoral fellowships.
This tally represents the highest per capita success rate of any research unit
in the University.

STUDENT SUPERVISION
Concordia already has a doctoral program in Sensory Studies. This research
area has been featured as one of the “Research Currents” within the
Individualized Programs (SIP) and the Humanities Doctoral Program (HUMA)
since the Fall of 2007.
http://www.concordia.ca/sgs/programs/individualized/research-
currents.html

It is possible to graduate with a concentration in sensory studies in other
doctoral programs as well, such as the Ph.D. in Marketing, the Ph.D. in
Communication Studies, and the Ph.D. in Social and Cultural Analysis.

A number of students at the Master’s level have also pursued research in
sensory studies, either through the M.A. program in Social and Cultural
Anthropology or the INDI M.A. program.

The benefits of student membership include: supervision for independent
studies courses related to degree requirements; participating in both large
and small research and research-creation projects (and the joint publications
and/or installations that result from these), access to funding in the form of
research assistantships; and, access to conference and research travel
support.

Research Assistantships take many different forms. For example, Laura
Enriquez (HUMA PhD) serves as the Coordinator of the Centre; Joe
Thibodeau (INDI Ph.D.) is the Editorial Assistant for The Senses and Society
journal; and, numerous student members are attached to diverse research
projects directed by faculty members of the Centre. All of these
opportunities provide vital training in the research methods and practices of
the expanding field of sensory studies.
                         11
Student members of the Centre are also themselves contributing to
expanding the frontiers of sensory studies through their many
publications and conference presentations (see Appendix E).

FUNDING
Centre members singly and jointly secured a total of $1,654,255 in new
research grants, combined with $1,798,340 of ongoing research grants,
bringing the total amount of funding for sense-based research initiatives
to $3,452,595. The full list of current funded research projects and
recent as well as planned future grant applications can be found in

INTERLUDE
 21 Gun Salute by student member
 Chélanie Beaudin-Quintin, HUMA Ph.D. Program

 Since 2002 robots have been used on the battlefields and
 assist soldiers in their most dangerous tasks. They help to
 protect them by increasing their working distance and
 keeping them away from potential sources of danger. By
 maintaining a proximity with robots, soldiers forge close
 bonds with their tools, which can lead to the adoption of
 behavior normally reserved for humans. To illustrate these
 new forms of sociality, 21 Gun Salute was inspired by the
 holding of a full burial with 21 Gun Salute, following the
 loss of a robot, this honor being normally reserved for the
 commemoration of an individual or an event during official
 ceremonies.
 Composed of filmed and syntheses 360° images, 21 Gun
 Salute explores the boundaries of virtual reality and video-
 dance, human and technology.

Happenings
The CSS was getting ready to host its major event of 20-19-2020, the third
iteration of its successful international interdisciplinary conference
“Uncommon Senses” when the pandemic forced a change of plans. The
conference, was originally scheduled to take place in May 2020 and was
entitled “Uncommon Senses III: The Future of the Senses.” Close to 150
abstracts had been accepted, a keynote speaker had been lined up (Ellen
Lupton of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum), posters drawn
up (See Appendix F), and the scheduled was all set when plans had to be
modified. The conference is now scheduled for May 2021, with a slightly
different subtitle: “Back to the Future of the Senses.”

The pandemic notwithstanding, in addition to the impressive list of
publications and other productions, the CSS delivered on a full schedule of
events, widely diversified in topics and formats. The CSS hosted 2 public
lectures, and co-sponsored 1 film screening, 2 exhibitions, and 2 conferences
(in association with the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling and
the Curating and Public Scholarship Lab), in addition to the events and
activities listed below.

● The CSS held its annual Sensory Studies Student Essay Competition. The
  First Prize was awarded to Rebecca van der Post for a writing entitled
  “Yesterdayness: Capitalism, Ethnocide, and the Sensory Structures of
  Accumulation,” and Joe Thibodeau was awarded the second Prize for an
  essay co-authored with Ceyda Yolgörmez, entitled "Open-Source
  Sentience: The Proof is in the Performance." The members of the
  adjudication committee praised both awardees for the avant-garde and
  provocative nature of their ideas and for the clear and accessible
  presentation of their arguments.

● The CSS collaborated with the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in
  Society and Culture (CISSC) to stage two public lectures (see Appendix
  G for posters of these public lectures).
      o “The Touch of the Present: Education, Becoming and Awakening”
        by visiting scholar Sharon Todd (Maynooth University, Ireland)
        held October 24, 2019.
      o “The Gamblers” – a film on the re-manualization of mining in
        South Africa’s abandoned goldmines by Rosalind Morris
        (Anthropology, Columbia University) and local filmmaker Philippe
        Leonard in the Winter term. The screening was followed by a Q&A.
        This event was co-sponsored by McGill Anthropology. This was
        held February 14, 2020.

                        14
● There were four Talking Sense seminars over the course of the year
  (see Appendix H for sample posters of these seminars):
    o    “Just Some Dead Birds in a Drawer: Choreographic Audiowalks,
        Lifeliness, and More-than-Huma Relational Movement” by
        Suzanne Schmitt held June 13, 2019.
    o “Hearing Healthcare: Soundscapes of the Modern Hospital” by
      visiting scholar Victoria Bates (July 2, 2019),
    o   “Book as Body: An Artist’s Book Workship” led by student
        member Darian Goldin Stahl (February 6, 2020),
    o “There is (No) Tactile Anthropology” by MITACS Fellow Maciej
      Topolski as part of the “Tactless: Touching Holocaust
      Memory”curatorial experiment and workshop co-sponsored
      by the Curating and Public Scholarship (October 2019).

●   The Centre teamed up with other Concordia research units on two
    other occasions during the Fall term:
     o first with the Textiles and Materiality Cluster of the Milieux
        Institute to stage “TextilesTradeTime: A Symposium” (October
        2019),
     o and then with the Acts of Listening Lab (directed by Luis Sotelo
        Castro) of the Centre for Oral History and Digital Storytelling to
        present a practice-based research symposium on “Listening,
        Performance and Conflict” (November 3019).

●   “Troubling Law’s Sensorium: Explorations in Sensational
    Jurisprudence” is a special issue of The Canadian Journal of Law and
    Society edited by David Howes. It is comprised of papers that were
    presented at the “Othered Senses” Workshop in April 2018 (see CSS
    2017-2018 Annual Report - check). To mark the release of the
    special issue, the Centre joined with the McGill Centre for Human
    Rights and Legal Pluralism to put on a luncheon-seminar in
    Thomson House. Sheryl Hamilton (Carleton), Charlene Elliott
    (Calgary), and Christiane Wilke (Carleton) were on hand both to
    present synopses of their articles in the CJLS and to celebrate. See
    Appendix I for more details.

in which sensors have supplanted sense organs and computation has taken over from cogitation.
Concordia co-applicants potentially include: Halpern, Salter, Howes, French, Cucuzzella, Cambre

§ 109. “Multimodal Art and Museology.”
[FRQSC soutien aux équipes, PI: TBD, for submission in October 2023]
[Focus 2]
  This project capitalizes on a string of previous projects centring on the sensory history of the
museum and art gallery and the design of “performative sensory environments.” Concordia
applicants potentially include: Classen, Salter, Howes, and Hammond. We plan to involve diverse
local museums, such as the McCord Museum and Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and design studios
such as Moment Factory as research partners.

§ 108. “Sensorial Urbanism: Charting the Urban Sensorium.”
[SSHRC Insight, PI: TBD, for submission in October 2022]
[Focus 4]
  Centre members have a long history of collaboration with the Canadian Centre for Architecture
(CCA). Howes and Classen consulted on the design of the 2005 “Sense of the City/Sensations
urbaines” exhibition and contributed essays to the eponymous exhibition catalogue. Hammond,
Salter, and Halpern have also collaborated with the CCA at different times in different ways. In
addition to partnering with the CCA, we plan to involve the Institute for Urban Futures and also
liaise with the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Smart, Sustainable and Resilient Communities
and Cities for this project. Concordia applicants potentially include: Halpern, Howes, Classen,
Hammond.

§ 107 “For an Aesthetics of the ‘Other’ Senses: Smell, Taste, Touch, Movement.”
[SSHRC Partnership Development, PI: Hsuan Hsu, for submission in October 2022]
[Axis 2 + Focus 2] **
  This project builds on the Insight grant application which was submitted by Hsuan Hsu to the
SSHRC in October 2019 – and met with success. Concordia co-applicants potentially include LeBel
for his expertise in gustation, Classen for her expertise on touch, and Michael Montanaro for his
expertise in movement. We will involve some local and diverse international museums (e.g. Marres
House, the Netherlands; Institute for Art and Olfaction, Los Angeles) and artists (e.g. Bernard Raux,
Sissel Tolaas)

                                                  22
§ 106 Sensing the Atmosphere
[SSHRC Insight, PI: Hillary Kaell, for submission in October 2022]
[Cluster F + Focus 4] **
  The atmosphere or climate and peoples’ sensitivities to the seasonal cycle, extreme weather
events, and climate catastrophe (never mind climate change) are all issues that have emerged as
important foci in the work of Kaell, Unger, Cucuzzella, Dokumaci and Howes. Kaell has initiated a
conversation among these Centre members with a view to holding a series of exploratory
workshops and preparing a team grant application for October 2022.

§ 105 “Exploring the Multimodal Transmedia Storyworlds of Popular Music.”
[SSHRC Insight, PI: Lori Brown (UOttawa), for submission in October 2021]
[Axis 2 + Focus 2] ***
  This project grows out of the longstanding collaboration between Lori Brown (Music, UOttawa)
and Marc Lafrance (see § 1, 26, 58). Other Concordia co-applicants include Unger and Howes. In the
new millennium, many metal artists have espoused progressive rock aesthetics in elaborate,
concept-driven transmedia works that include books, artwork, theatrical staging, and films. The
project will work toward the development of an interpretive model for understanding these
contemporary works while creating an immersive platform for spectators to experience and
understand the materials and the implications of the storyworlds.
§ 104 “Sensory Curriculum Theory & Practice 2.0: Unsettling Knowledge Hierarchies.”
[SSHRC Partnership Development, PI: Carolina Cambre, for submission in October 2021] [Focus 1] **
  This project is a sequel to the grant application which Carolina Cambre submitted to the SSHRC in
October 2019 (which did not meet with success, unfortunately). Concordia co-applicants include:
Howes and Classen. Other co-applicants include: Carey Jewitt (Knowledge Lab, University of
London), Fiona Macdonald (UBC Okanagan), Melissa Park (Occupational Therapy, McGill).

§ 103 “Feeling Lucky: Sensory Ethnography of Gambling Casinos and Gaming Apps.”
 [SSHRC Insight, PI: Martin French, for submission in October 2021]
[Focus 3] **
  This project builds on a pilot project (§ 29 - jointly funded by Martin French’s chercheur-boursier
grant and the CSS) and also complements § 54 (where the Montreal Casino figures as one of three
field sites). Concordia co-applicants include Howes.

§ 102 “Rethinking the Theory of Affordances.”
[SSHRC Insight, PI: Dokumaci, for submission in October 2020]
[Focus 3] ***
  This project grows out of Arseli Dokumaci’s critique of conventional affordance theory from the
standpoint of Critical Disability Studies. It complements § 59 where Dokumaci’s theory has already
been incorporated into the research methodology of the project – namely, sensory ethnography.
Concordia co-applicants include Howes and possibly Johnson.

                                                  23
§ 101. « L’impact de la perception et l’attention visuelle sur le traitement de l’information,
l’évaluation et les choix des consommateurs. »
[Renewal of § 21 FQRSC soutien aux équipes de recherche, PI: Bianca Grohmann, for submission in
October 2020]
[Focus 3]. **
This application will support research on the effects of product-based and environmental visual cues
on consumers’ attention and information processing in a marketing context. This investigation will
have implications for the design of products and environments that better serve consumers with
age-related visual impairments, consumers with multiple sensory impairments, and consumers with
dyslexia. Other team members include: Johnson, Walter Wittich (Optometrie, UdeM), Onur Bodur
(Marketing, Concordia).

APPENDIX D
New Grant Applications & Ongoing Research Grants

The following list does not reflect all of the grant activity of Centre members. It only lists those
research projects which fall within the domain of sensory studies.
o The gaps in the enumeration are due either to a project having come to an end or a grant
    application not being successful.
o In the case of grants or grant applications § 74, §71, and § 70, only those amounts which accrue
    to a Centre member will be included in the final tally (as in the case of § 53). § 69 has also been
    excluded from the tally on account of the unique nature of this award.
