Noah Hansen (he/him; noahh@ucla.edu) is a Chancellor’s Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of English and Ralph J. Bunche Center for African American Studies at UCLA. Before coming to UCLA, he earned a PhD in English Literature and worked as a teaching fellow at the University of Chicago. Hansen’s research focuses on Black Atlantic literature and political thought, with an emphasis on critical theorizations of labor and political economy in the (Post-)Plantation Americas. His current book project traces the emergence of Black working-class internationalism in the first half of the twentieth century, analyzing how socioeconomic processes of class formation and new forms of transnational literary representation converge to make the generic figure of the “Negro Worker” a defining fulcrum of Black Internationalist political aesthetics. Hansen is also currently engaged in archival research and writing on the literature of the Marcus Garvey movement.
