Hannah H. Kim

Hi! I’m Hannah.

I’m an assistant professor at the University of Arizona’s philosophy department and an affiliated faculty in the English Department. I’m also an editor for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

I work on aesthetics, metaphysics, and Asian philosophy; my work is often at their intersections. I draw from Korean, Chinese, and Asian American traditions to globalize analytic aesthetics. Lately, I’ve been thinking about fictionalism, non-fiction, and fiction across cultures and media.

I also write and speak about philosophy, culture, and the arts for a general audience. I’m a Contributor at Aesthetics for Birds, and my writings have appeared in WIRED, LA Times, USA Today, Dark Wall / Bright Room, and The Philosopher, among other places. My interviews have appeared on PBS / Arizona Public Media, Philosophers on Culture, and Philosophers Discussing Art, among other places.

Before joining Arizona, I taught at Macalester College. And before that, I received my PhD in Philosophy and PhD minor in Comparative Literature from Stanford. Here is my C.V.
