Hannah Link is a researcher interested in feminist science and technology studies, ethnography, and feminist posthumanities. She is currently a postdoc at Linköping University, where she holds a Walter-Benjamin-Stipend. 

She investigates the intimate entanglements between menstrual technologies and bodies by examining how such technologies re-/configure bodily experiences, practices, and forms of knowledge. Through a material-semiotic ethnography, her study ranges from analyses of everyday experiences to examinations of potentials, frictions, and inequalities emerging from the global menstrual technologies industry. In general, her work addresses questions of embodiment, technological mediation, technological destruction, knowledge production, and power relations.
