Summary
Hannah Katznelson is a PhD candidate and Dissertation Fellow in Comparative Literature at UC Berkeley with nine years of experience bridging humanities scholarship and technical work. Her research treats narrative fiction as a laboratory for anti-ideological politics in early modern France and England, while she also teaches literature and French language courses that interrogate narrative voice and the political functions of texts. Prior to doctoral study she gained hands-on software engineering experience at Vimeo and as a junior developer, giving her an uncommon fluency in both code and critical theory. Based in Berkeley, she combines rigorous archival and theoretical work with practical pedagogy, and has pursued language study in Italian alongside fellowships in Europe that foreground temporal and future-oriented research.
