Hi there! I’m Hannah (she/her), a historian, writer, and arts and humanities professional based in New Haven, Connecticut. I hold a Ph.D. in History and Interdisciplinary Humanities from Princeton University and a B.A. in Honors History and French from Cornell University. My research focuses on culture, gender, and the family in modern France, and has been recognized by the Georges Lurcy Foundation, the Western Society for French History, and the Council for European Studies.
My peer-reviewed articles have appeared in French Politics, Culture & Society, Film History, and Gender & History, and I was a founding editor of Digital Childhoods (Society for the History of Children and Youth). I’m also a critic and write about European culture, visual art, and gender for outlets like Frieze, The Nation, The New York Review of Books, and The Brooklyn Rail, where I served as an assistant arts editor from 2018–19.
I now work in the Division of Public Engagement at the Yale Center for British Art and have held staff positions at Artforum Magazine and ARTSTOR. If you’d like to commission me, or otherwise get in touch, please write me a message.
