The Senses and Society

The Senses and Society explores how our five senses—sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell—shaped human experience, culture, and social interactions. It examines how sensory perceptions influence behaviors, social norms, and communication, as well as how societal factors like technology, environment, and cultural practices impact our senses. By understanding these connections, we gain insight into how sensory experiences shape identity, relationships, and the way communities function, highlighting the complex interplay between individual perception and collective social life.
