Coming in 2024
Alabastron is a community-centered journal exploring scent’s role in society and culture.
The Institute for Art and Olfaction is pleased to announce its new journal, Alabastron, co-edited by Nuri McBride and Saskia Wilson-Brown. As a community-centered publication, Alabastron seeks to bridge the gap between academia and the public to create an inclusive and accessible learning environment where aromatic history, culture, and practice can be shared freely.
The first issue’s theme is The Scent of Identity: Olfaction’s Role in Culture, Community, and the Formation of Self, and launches in 2024.
