Angus Fletcher studies literature, storytelling, and creativity, drawing on ideas from literary criticism, cognitive science, and psychology to explore how narratives shape human thinking and imagination. Much of his recent work examines the differences between human creativity and artificial intelligence, and develops methods for teaching creativity through storytelling. He also writes on Shakespeare, literary history, and the philosophy of art.
Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade with some gap years, but has been relatively steady to slightly increasing since 2021, averaging about 2.6 papers per year over the last five years.
