Hannah Chapelle Wojciehowski is the Arthur J. Thaman Wilhelmina Doré Thaman Professor of English at the University of Texas at Austin and the Director of the Program in Comparative Literature. She received her Ph.D. from Yale University in the interdisciplinary Renaissance Studies Program in 1984. Her research areas include history and subjectivity, group identity formation, globalization, transculturation, and early modern women's writing. Her influential book 'Group Identity in the Renaissance World' (2011) examines the dynamics of group identity formation within a global context, integrating psychoanalytic theories and social network analysis. She is also engaged in current research exploring life writings through the lens of Michel Foucault's theories of power and knowledge, particularly as they relate to early modern group identities. Wojciehowski's academic interests expand to include the intersections of science, technology, and literature, and she advocates for a cognitive cultural studies approach to understanding creativity and social environments. She has edited a notable edition of Shakespeare's 'Cymbeline' for the New Kittredge Shakespeare Series, enhancing accessibility for contemporary readers through performance notes and references to various adaptations.
