Ideas in Motion: Hannah Hellman

Tue, Feb 17, 12:00 pm – 12:50 pm

Hannah Hellman will discuss her article Solarpunk and Rural Education which bridges the humanities and STEM by connecting rural education to the literary genre Solarpunk. 

Hannah Hellman graduated from Sonoma State University’s English M.A. program in 2023. Her thesis on Virginia Woolf examined the 1928 novel Orlando: A Biography and the relationship Woolf had with Vita Sackville-West. Hannah has been published by the National Science Teaching Association (NSTA) and the Gothic Nature Journal, and enjoys bridging the gap between STEM and the Humanities wherever possible. When she is not working as a Communications Specialist and Editor for the NASA partner organization EdEon STEM Learning at Sonoma State University, Hannah can be found writing critically about her favorite books or video games.
