Emma Mitchell: Senses - Scenting story: unlocking olfactory memories of Georgian London

Technecast

In this latest instalment of our 'Senses' series we hear from Emma Mitchell. Emma is an AHRC-funded Creative Writing doctoral researcher at Brunel University London whose work uses archival research and experimental literary forms and practices to reclaim the voices of marginalised women from History. Her project focusses on Georgian sex workers and works with contemporary documents, objects and ephemera to generate narratives that place women’s voices front and centre. An ex-school teacher and brand strategist, she has performed worldwide as a comedian, circus and burlesque artist, and is best known for her critically-acclaimed one-woman show, The Naked Stand Up. She’s been featured in The Times, Daily Mail, Scotsman, The Daily Record and even The Sun. She is the producer of Naked Girls Reading, London, and has appeared on BBC Radio 4’s Late Night Woman's Hour discussing nudity and her work. Her recent writing has been published by Haunted Girlfriend, Broken Sleep, Steel Incisors and Streetcake Magazine among others.------------Image: Emma Mitchell------------Technecast is a podcast series showcasing research from across the arts and humanities.
