Abstract
ABSTRACT We explore the sensory experiences of individuals who live, work, and play in an environment marred by air pollution. Sensory phenomenology provides a theoretical lens through which to analyze the experiences of residents living with and through air pollution events in the Salt Lake metropolitan area, Utah. Excerpts from ten essays are presented to support four researcher-developed themes and reflexive analyses. The role of the senses in negotiating air pollution during leisure experiences is discussed, as is the democratization of embodiment resulting from exposure to air pollution. We show how research that uses sensory descriptions as primary data can provide a radical closeness to the lived leisure experience as well as a replicable model for sensitive leisure scholarship.
