From the incense burned in medieval religious rituals to the use of modern sniffer dogs, smells have been central to our sense of identity, our ability to build communities, and, perhaps less positively, to mark those deemed unwelcome within them. Our sense of smell brings us the pleasure of good food, wine, and perfume, but it also warns us of dangerous fire, gas, and rot.What did the past smell like? Why does our own world smell the way it does?Moving through key locations, from libraries to forests, churches to hospitals, Will Tullett explores the peculiar history of smell. We smell witchcraft and M**der, fin de siècle Parisian theatres, and cinemas in 1960s New York. What emerges is not just a history of smells, but biographies of the many noses that have sniffed them.William TullettWill Tullett is a Senior Lecturer in Early Modern History and pursues research and teaching in three broad fields: sensory, embodied, and environmental history. His interests include smell history and heritage, the materialisation and embodiment of gender, histories of medicine and science, and histories of pollution and environmental degradation. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/oxford/william-tullett-sniff-a-history-of-smells/100001989915868931 - **Event Categories**: science-fair, art, theatre, dog - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour - Location: Blackwell's Bookshop - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 6, max: 25, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Oxford - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Blackwell's Bookshop - **lat**: 51.7546524 - **long**: -1.2555315 - **full address**: Blackwell's Bookshop, 48-51 Broad Street, Oxford, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: William Tullett SNIFF: A HISTORY OF SMELLS - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/a8a43fc05bab92448f5005392f241605ca53085a7cf1e0269194cb9effdf39db-rimg-w1200-h675-dcc3bfbb-gmir.jpg?v=1779213137 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is William Tullett SNIFF: A HISTORY OF SMELLS being held? - **A:** William Tullett SNIFF: A HISTORY OF SMELLS takes place on Fri, 16 Oct, 2026 at 05:30 pm to Fri, 16 Oct, 2026 at 06:30 pm at Blackwell's Bookshop, 48-51 Broad Street, Oxford, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing William Tullett SNIFF: A HISTORY OF SMELLS? - **A:** William Tullett SNIFF: A HISTORY OF SMELLS is organized by Blackwell's, Broad Street Oxford. - **Q**: What has been the experience of attendees at Blackwell's, Broad Street Oxford's events? - **A:** Attendees have given Blackwell's, Broad Street Oxford a rating of 2/5 based on reviews from early attendees on AllEvents.
