Career

Hanink was born in 1982 in Ashford, Connecticut.[6][7] Hanink received her BA in Classics at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2003 and a Gates Scholarship in 2006, followed by an MA in Latin at the University of California, Berkeley.[8] She achieved her PhD in Classics in 2011 at Queens' College, Cambridge.[9]

Hanink's work focuses on Greek drama, and particularly Greek tragedy.[10] In addition, Hanink is interested in Classical reception studies and especially the role Greek and Roman antiquity plays in modern political movements.[11] Her 2017 book, The Classical Debt, examines the symbolic debt of Western civilization to Greece in light of the Greek financial crisis. Hanink also writes on issues of gender in academia.[12]
