For our Sound Studies Method Assignment as part of the MA of Music and Culture at Carleton University in February 2026, we chose to explore sensory ethnography for this assignment as outlined in “Chapter Two: Principles for Sensory Ethnography: Perception, Place, Knowing, Memory, and Imagination” by Sarah Pink. Our project draws on Pink’s call to engage in: multisensoriality (2021, pg. 9); grounded understandings of each other’s experiences with knowledge, memory and imagination (Pink, 2021, pg. 18, 23, 25); Okely’s concept of “creatively construct correspondences’ (Pink, 2021, pg. 26); and the “reflexive ethnographer” (Pink, 2021, pg. 26); ethnographic-place-as-event (2021, Pg. 29). We were keen to explore this method without the power dynamic of one person as the researcher and one as the participant. We were co-researchers and co-creators of this experience.
