Research interests
Genevieve Liveley is Professor of Classics, Turing Fellow, and Director of the Research Institute for Sociotechnical Cyber Security (RISCS). She is a narratologist whose research interests focus upon narratives and narrative theories (both ancient and modern) and their impact on futures thinking. She has particular research interests in the stories that programme cultural and sociotechnical narratives about technology and risk (especially in relation to cyber security, and to AI). She has published a number of books, articles, and reports on these topics and has also worked on the classical tradition, chaos theory, and cyborgs. She is co-founder of FLiNT (Futures Literacy through Narrative).

Research Supervision
I am currently supervising doctoral research projects exploring time and space, time and narrative, narrative silence, future narratives, and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. I am always happy to supervise doctoral research projects with a narratological or temporal focus. I am also a member of the College of Supervisors for the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Cyber Security.
Teaching
I was awarded a University Teaching and Learning Award in 2009, and was a BoB (Best of Bristol) Lecturer in 2015. I am also a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
