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 and the Chair of the American Society for Aesthetics’s Diversity Committee.

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.
