Dr Emily Spiers

Senior Lecturer in Creative Futures

Research Overview

Emily Spiers is Senior Lecturer in Creative Futures and German. Their work focuses on narrative as a tool for Futures Literacy, as well as future-oriented, innovative trends in communicative, socio-digital and literary practices. They explore how futures are being envisaged, anticipated and made through art and literature -- and how creative narratives can help articulate multiple futures in fields as diverse as defence, education and climate-change research.

Their research into authorship focuses on spoken-word poetry as an aesthetic, socio-digital and political practice, and as a world literary phenomenon. Underpinning their work is the question of how, through the presence of the author-performer, performance poetry foregrounds the question of agency in relation to literature: the active shaping of a world in time that literature carries out.
