2024 cohort of New Generation Thinkers announced by BBC and AHRC

So damn proud that, University of East Anglia (UEA) alumni, Jade Cuttle has been included as one of the UK's ten most promising arts and humanities early career researchers who have been announced as this year’s New Generation Thinkers, supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) and the BBC. Every year, a nationwide search is held for the best new arts and humanities academics with ideas that will resonate with a wider audience on BBC radio.


The 2024 New Generation Thinkers will bring new insights into diverse topics, with research including the possible existence of the multiverse, the surprisingly dark history of Technicolor film, and the search for the greatest philosopher who never existed.

Professor Christopher Smith, AHRC Executive Chair says:

“These ten brilliant, original thinkers demonstrate the ability of the arts and humanities to help us to better understand both ourselves and the world around us.”


Matthew Dodd, Commissioning Editor, Arts, BBC Radio 3 and 4, “We’re looking forward to working with ten of the most promising early-career academics. Each year the New Generation Thinker scheme brings radio production teams a wave of stimulating and thought-provoking contributors who have a passion for public engagement. After over a decade of successful partnership with BBC Radio 3, it’s great to be bringing their ideas to a new home of listeners on BBC Radio 4, the biggest speech radio station in the UK, where they’ll find a wide audience.”

Scriptocurrency: The New Language of Black British Nature Poets
Jade Cuttle is an award-winning writer and AHRC-funded researcher at Cambridge, studying the coinings of British nature poets of colour. Applying her experience in metal detecting and mudlarking to the field of literature, she unearths evidence of shared currency and an overlooked tradition.

She is writing a book called Silthood, a term she coined to explore ancient connections to the earth. Supervised by Robert Macfarlane, her research precedes the publication of Nature Matters: New Poetries by Black and Asian Writers of the diaspora.

Jade won a ‘30 To Watch: Journalism Award’ for her Arts Commissioning Editor work at The Times, with televised appearances on BBC One, ITV and Look North. She’s also a historical reenactor, one of Britain's first female warriors of colour.
