Sarah Bouttier is a researcher in Anglophone literature. She teaches in the Department of Languages and Cultures at École Polytechnique (IP Paris) and is a member of the PRISME laboratory (Sorbonne Nouvelle). Starting from an interest in the nonhuman in literature, she works on, among other things, arts-sciences interactions, critical posthumanism, ecopoetry, ecofeminism, and speculative fiction. Together with Meghann Cassidy, she pursues a research-creation project (writing/performance), co-hosting one of the Useful Fictions labs each year since 2024.

In 2026, she published An Ecopoetics of Agency: Writing with the Nonhuman in Modernist and Contemporary Poetry (Bloomsbury) and co-edited the publication of Microscopic Life in Early-Twentieth and Twenty-First-Century Literature and Performance with Liliane Campos, Sarah Montin, and François-Joseph Lapointe (Open Book Publishers – 2026).
