Collaboration
Hannah has a strong record of interdisciplinary collaborative research publications and grant success. She is committed to fostering interdisciplinary partnerships and producing work that sits at the forefront of debates in Humanities.

Current projects
Extinction in Public
- Moving away from the individual psychology of eco-grief and forms of climate trauma, this project examines the emergence of public feelings about extinction. It brings together collective acts of mourning, protest and ceremony with public displays in museums, galleries and zoos in order to explore contemporary forms of consciousness raising and track the emergence of public environmental sentiment.
Beyond Extinction: Reconstructing the Thylacine (Tasmanian Tiger) Archive (with Katrina Schlunke)
- This ARC-funded project aims to tell a global story about extinction as a human problem, by reconstructing the individual biographies of a selection of thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) specimens. Through transforming these specimens into grieveable lives the project expects to facilitate scholarly and public engagement with the cultural history of extinction, advancing the foundation for a sustainable and informed response that may help prevent further extinctions. In bringing together the zoo and the museum as key sites for the development of public environmental sentiment, this project has the potential to generate new and globally-relevant resources for engaging with conservation and extinction, through these institutions and beyond.
How to Do Politics with Love (with Timothy Laurie)
- Drawing on queer paradigms pioneered by Lauren Berlant, Eve Sedgwick, José Esteban Muñoz, and others, and building on feminist scholarship linking intimate practices to political processes, this project recuperates love as a resource for creating social bonds beyond heterosexual coupledom. Along the way, it gathers together novel philosophical genealogies to recast contemporary debates about intimate politics - from Baruch Spinoza’s affirmations of joy to revolutionary camaraderie in Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, and from Gilles Deleuze’s a-personal desire to the embodied sociality of Judith Butler. These critical touchstones provide the resources for a new, post-sentimental conception of love which foregrounds its vitality as a world-making political force. Committing to diversity, solidarity, and post-nuclear forms of kinship, this project points toward immanent utopian futures by reimagining the kinds of worlds that love is capable of making.

- Description
- The 2017 ASCP conference will enhance the ASCP's existing strengths in showcasing socially engaged and responsible philosophy. For the 2017 conference, we seek to challenge commonplace understandings of the boundaries of scholarship in continental philosophy, with a particular focus on the role of feminist, critical race, postcolonial and environmental thought in transforming the key questions that drive philosophical inquiry. The conference will link political philosophy to post‐colonial and de‐colonial studies, and will engage with contemporary research that foregrounds the political valences of philosophical research for diverse cultural stakeholders. Hosting a conference located on the country of the Mouheneener people ‐‐ country that bares a long history of European settler colonial violence and that continues to be contested ‐‐ the conference will provide opportunities to consider the myriad connections between violence, modernity and philosophy. The ASCP has a strong commitment to equity and diversity and this focus provides an opportunity to deepen and extend this commitment. Internationally significant critical race theorist and philosopher of education Lewis Gordon will deliver a keynote on the work of Frantz Fanon, and will invite the philosophical community to reconsider questions of diversity, inclusiveness and cross‐cultural communication (which will be open to the public).

- Description
- What does it mean to love and be loved in the Anthropocene? Thisproject positions literature as a site for speculative engagement with pressing environmentaland social issues tied to intimacy such as extinction, fertility, overpopulation, and futurity.Considering how kinship practices are being expanded by new reproductive technologies andqueer and interspecies acts of post-nuclear family making, it examines how love is mobilisedas a political resource for articulating new modes of diverse and multi-species sociality andnew futures in the era of climate change.
