Andrew Kettler taught as an Assistant Professor and Early American History Fellow at the University of Toronto from 2017 to 2019 before serving as an Ahmanson-Getty Fellow at the University of California, Los Angeles during the 2019-2020 academic year. He currently teaches at the University of South Carolina- Palmetto College. His monograph, The Smell of Slavery: Olfactory Racism and the Atlantic World (2020), focuses on the development of racist semantics concerning miasma and the contrasting expansion of aromatic consciousness in the making of subaltern resistance to racialized olfactory discourses of state, religious, and slave masters. Will Tullett is a Senior Lecturer in Early Modern History at the University of York. He has published two books on the history of smell - Smell in Eighteenth Century England (2019) and Smell and the Past (2023) - and many articles on sensory history. He was recently part of Odeuropa, a major EU-funded project on smell and heritage in Europe from the 1600s to the 1920s.
