While Emezue’s major research foci include Postcolonial studies, Gender studies and Digital Humanities, her publications attest to her utilization of Bakhtinian Dialogism as well as traditional African Philosophical concepts as theoretical hindsight in exploring stylistics cum linguistics dynamics of contemporary African poetry.

Furthermore, G.M.T Emezue’s avid interest in interfaces between Literature and Philosophic cum Scientific conceptualizations of reality, has led to her keen enquiries into ideas of simulations, simulated reality, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, African concept of multi-dimensional realities, holograms, all resulting in her hypothesizing of fast developing theoretical models she terms “Complementary Realism’ (Emezue 2011) and ‘Alternate Reality” (Emezue and Smith 2009). After her first degree from the Department of English and Literary Studies in 1988, GMT Emezue has worked as independent film script writer and consultant for Nigerian National Television Network, Lagos, Nigeria.
