Christy Spackman is associate professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and the School of Arts, Media and Engineering. She studies the environmental and social impact of scientific and technological efforts to manipulate sensory experiences of smelling and tasting. Her book, The Taste of Water (2023, University of California Press) explores how tap water in the US and Europe got to taste the way it does. Hint: It used to taste really different! Spackman's research weaves together different methods from history, anthropology, and the arts to create experiential learning opportunities for policy makers and the public as they deliberate around what sort of sensory futures they'd like to bring about.
