My research within urban ethnology has focused on people’s experiences about their surrounding neighbourhoods. I have worked with both written ethnological questionnaires (oral history) and ethnographic methods. Lately my interest has been in the affective practices of placemaking and in the multi-sensorial ways of experiencing urban environment. I have also been keen to develop more applied methods of urban ethnology to bring ethnological knowledge into urban planning. I would like to join your workshop to learn a new way of experiencing and documenting urban experiences, and to take the role of an urbanite trying to express their emotions and sensory experiences of a city.
I am chairing panel Body03: Mediating affect in the world of uncertainties. I hope there will not be an overlap with our session.
