Dr Briony Hughes @brihughespoet.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

It was such a privilege to present on the conservation education projects that have emerged from Speculative Frequencies at the @nawewriters.bsky.social conference yesterday 🦇

Briony Hughes
(30-minute presentation)
Room 2: 15:55-16:25
Speculative Frequencies (2025) incorporated writing exercises designed to explore feelings of human-nature enmeshment, alongside establishing kinship with a crucial yet misunderstood mammal - bats. Through partnership with the Bat Conservation Trust, alongside arts/heritage/environmental organisations such as Orleans House, Wildlife Trusts, Royal Parks, and Cambridge Botanic Garden, I explore how poetry can widen the disciplinary scope of eco-education programmes and diversify participation. This presentation offers Speculative Frequencies as a collaboration model - ongoing activities include a kit co-developed with Richmond Council, and outdoor workshops with communities/conservation professionals/policy makers.
Dr Briony Hughes is a lecturer in Creative Writing at Royal Holloway. She co-edits the Resurgence and Ecologist poetry feature and runs Osmosis Press.
Publications include Speculative Frequencies (Permeable Barrier), June: A Haunting (Intergraphia), Rhizomes (Broken Sleep Books), amongst others. Her limited-edition bookarts have been widely collected by UK archives.
