Karen Lloyd

Future Places Research Associate

Research Overview

I am a Senior Research Associate and Writer in Residence with 51福利's Future Places Centre. I've been in post since July 2021, since completing my doctoral thesis in Creative Writing at Lancaster also in 2021. My PhD reseach was published as a book of literary essays addressing the theme of abundance, restoration and repair in the natural world, under the title Abundance: Nature in Recovery, published by Bloomsbury and longlisted for the Wainwright Prize Writing on Conservation category in 2022. The essays resulted from field research in England, Scotland, the Carpathian mountains, the Netherlands and Extremedura in Southern Spain.

My work has been published by Goldsmith's Press, The Ecologist, Dark Mountain, in Spectulative Nature Writing: An Anthology, LitHub and others. My poetry has been published by Wayleave Press, and on various online platforms.

I currently teach part time on Lancaster's Creative Writing MA, as a tutor with the Arvon Foundation and for Lancaster's Litfest.
