Stephen Oram

Stephen is a Fellowship Councillor for London.

Stephen Oram writes speculative fiction, often exploring the intersection of messy humans and imperfect technology in the near future.

He is also a leading proponent of applied science fiction, working with scientists and technologists to explore, with various communities, the possible outcomes of this research and development.

Between 1990 and 2022 he worked in the public education sector, ultimately as the Department for Education’s Head of Policy for Strategic Development and Innovation (post16 and skills strategy).

Stephen is based in the heart of central London and attributes much of the urban grittiness and the optimism about humanity in his writing to the noise, the bustle, and the diverse community of where he lives.
