PhD Student
Hannah is a PhD candidate in the Department of Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas at Austin. Her dissertation, An Anatomy of Cinema, investigates how surgery and the moving image cut into the body, tracing connections between cinema and medical practice. Working across moving image archives, artists’ films, and medical collections, her research explores how aesthetic strategies and visual techniques shape cultural understandings of medicine, institutions, and the body. Her wider interests include medical humanities, feminist media studies, horror cinema, visual culture, and the intersections of art and medicine.
