We’re back and this week we're getting spooky and ECTOGASMIC with Dr Emma Merkling. Emma is an Art Historian at the Courtauld specialising in in late C19th history of art, science and occultism. Emma is “Just a creepy weirdo who lik es creepy weird stuff”. In this episode we chat about racist ghosts, squirting spiritualists, and what it’s like to be a Spooky Terrifying Ect oplasm Mama (aka a woman in STEM). We consider the production of ectoplasm and/as the female orgasm, discuss the pros and cons of automatic writing for REF submissions, and question whether or not x-rays can be used for upskirting? Also as women in SHAPE we consider why orbs are so important for mediums.
