Come to Your Senses is a new book offering a critical reflection that reasserts the importance of sensory skills in tertiary education and professional practice through interventions in the existing curriculum. It usefully functions as a manual on how to implement senses-based learning within and beyond academia.
After early education, sensory skills are rarely trained directly. Seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing, feeling – these are faculties that most professionals naturally develop with practice. Based on exercises carried out at Maastricht University, Come to Your Senses provides direct exercises that will help sharpen the senses of both educators and students to enable them to employ them in their own developing professional and personal experiences.
