Hannah Hunter
Ph.D. Candidate
Hannah is a critical, creative geographer interested in human-animal relationships, bird sounds, and the history of science. Her doctoral research explores the more-than-human histories of bird sound recording and asks how these recordings can be re-imagined and re-purposed towards abundant multispecies futures. In particular, this work follows the sounds of Ivory-Billed Woodpeckers, Atlantic Puffins, and Barred Owls.
