Marc Brüseke
I work across life writing, visual culture, media theory, higher education, and independent publishing. My work explores how memory, images, narrative, and technology shape the ways we understand ourselves and the world around us.
I hold a PhD in English Literature and Creative Writing. I previously taught at York St John University and now work independently as a tutor, researcher, writer, and publisher based in York, UK.
Areas of work
Research, teaching, and creative practice
Research & Writing
Life writing, memory & visual culture
My research centres on experimental memoir, fragmented narrative, photography, memory, identity, and photo-sketching, a hybrid image-text practice developed through my doctoral work.
Teaching
Literature, writing & media
I have taught undergraduate English Literature, Creative Writing, and Media Studies, with particular interests in close reading, research methods, narrative, visual culture, and critical thought.
AI & Higher Education
Critical AI literacy
My current research considers the responsible use of generative AI in higher education, with a focus on source judgement, authorship, academic integrity, research, and the preservation of student thought.
Publishing
Independent literary publishing
I founded Analog Submission Press in 2017. The press publishes poetry, prose, and hybrid writing in small numbered editions and has published more than 160 titles.
Current work

An ongoing archive of fragments and short critical pieces across theory, life writing, visual culture, memory, and digital culture.
