Lív Maria Róadóttir Jæger serves as a Lecturer in Creative Writing at the Faculty of Faroese Language and Literature, University of the Faroe Islands. Holding a Master of Arts in Philosophy from the University of Copenhagen, she is an influential contemporary poet whose experimental works bridge academic philosophy and artistic practice through innovative multimedia formats and public interventions. Her academic background includes: Master of Arts (mag.art.) in Philosophy, University of Copenhagen (awarded March 5, 2012) Jæger's creative practice centers on poetry and phenomenology, manifested through radical experimentation with form and medium. She pioneers techniques including xerographic poetry, pergament manuscripts, lithographic texts, and multimedia installations that transform philosophical concepts into tangible artistic experiences. Her work consistently engages with urgent contemporary issues—from Gaza conflict commentary to social media critique—while celebrating the expressive potential of the Faroese language through fragmented syntax, multilingual elements, and material innovation. Analysis of her 2022-2025 publications reveals a cohesive trajectory toward interdisciplinary collaboration and expanded poetic forms. Through the SUPERVISJÓN collective, she has systematically dismantled poetry's traditional boundaries, producing street interventions, textile art, sound installations, and digital works that challenge conventional distinctions between literature, visual art, and public space. This body of work demonstrates remarkable thematic consistency in addressing political power structures, psychological states, and environmental concerns while maintaining deep roots in Faroese linguistic and cultural identity. No scientific awards or fellowships were documented in the available information. In her academic capacity, Jæger teaches creative writing within the Bachelor of Arts in Creative Arts program and has co-edited student anthologies like RITLIST II: Antologi (2023). She has contributed to institutional development through consultancy work on sustainability recommendations for the University of the Faroe Islands (2021), demonstrating engagement beyond traditional academic boundaries. While formal graduate students aren't listed, her editorial work indicates active mentorship of emerging Faroese writers. Jæger's primary creative ecosystem is the SUPERVISJÓN collaboration, which functions as both artistic laboratory and cultural platform. This collective enables her poetry to transcend the page through annual Ólavsøkuframsýningin exhibitions, transforming public spaces with wall poems, textile installations, and multimedia performances that engage the Faroese community in contemporary artistic discourse.

David Embick is a Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Arts & Sciences. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1997 and has established himself as a leading scholar in theoretical and experimental linguistics. Ph.D., University of Pennsylvania, 1997 Professor Embick's research spans both theoretical and experimental linguistics, with a focus on syntactic theory, morphological theory (particularly Distributed Morphology), and the syntax/morphology interface. His work explores syntax and phonological form, argument structure, lexical knowledge, and language processing in the brain. He has developed significant research in language and autism using MEG neuroimaging techniques. His theoretical contributions include the Localist approach to morphology and phonology, which contrasts with Globalist theories like Optimality Theory. His recent publications reveal a strong trend toward integrating theoretical linguistics with experimental psycholinguistics, particularly in morphological processing and spoken word recognition. Embick's work bridges theoretical syntax and morphology with cognitive neuroscience, examining how linguistic structures are represented and processed in the brain. His research on autism spectrum disorders has produced important insights into auditory processing differences in this population. Professor Embick leads the XMorph (Experimental Morphology) Lab at Penn, which investigates lexical and morphological representation and processing. The lab works closely with Meredith Tamminga's Language Variation and Cognition Lab and collaborates with Tim Roberts at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia on autism spectrum disorder research. His lab has produced significant work on morphological priming, semantic transparency effects, and the representation of inflectional morphology in the mental lexicon. Embick has advised several doctoral students including Ava Creemers (2020), Robert J. Wilder (2018), and Amy Goodwin Davies (2018), whose dissertation topics focused on morphological processing, speech perception, and lexical representation respectively. His collaborative research spans multiple institutions and disciplines, connecting theoretical linguistics with cognitive neuroscience and clinical applications.
