Hannah H. Kim

Hi! I’m Hannah.

I’m an assistant professor at the University of Arizona’s philosophy department and a faculty affiliate with the English Department and the Center for East Asian Studies. I’m also an editor for the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

I work on aesthetics, metaphysics, and Asian philosophy. My favorite topics are found at their intersections (e.g., fictional truth, fictional time, Confucian aesthetics).

I also freelance and write 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, Public Seminar, The Philosopher, and Bright Wall / Dark Room among other places. My interviews have appeared on PBS and Arizona Public Media (PBS/NPR).

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.
