    Melissa Tyler

In her talk Sylwia will introduce Multimodal Experiential Mapping - a novel method developed to facilitate the study of multisensory embodied experiences. She will discuss the method's interpretive and generative potential and explain how it can enrich our methodological repertoire.

Sylwia will also reflect on the analytical and practical challenges linked to this method. She will support her argument by drawing on her on-going study with recent graduates navigating the challenges of hybrid work as organisational newcomers.
