Chalk Scribblers meet the expert: Chris French - Livestream

Chris French was the head of Goldsmiths University's Anomalistic University’s Psychology Research Unit which was dedicated to the study of The Science of Weird Sh*t, as he titled the popular science book he wrote on the subject after his retirement.

His research focused on belief in the paranormal, encompassing the psychology that leads to everything from the relatively harmless subjective experiences of encountering ghosts and UFOs to much more damaging instances such as false memories of Satanic abuse. He’s the author of numerous academic articles and books on anomalistic psychology, as well as columns for The Guardian and The Skeptic. The Science of Weird Sh*t was published by MIT Press in 2024.

He'll open by talking about the subject matter of his book and will take any and all questions on either the subject matter or on his experience as a non-fiction author.
