Sarah Allen

Sarah Allen is an Associate Professor in the English Department at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, specializing in rhetoric and composition. She directs the Composition and Rhetoric Program, First-Year Writing Program, and Mentoring Program. Her research explores the intersection of ecological crises, human-nonhuman entanglements, and philosophical frameworks.

Allen's work, such as Kairotic Inspiration: Imagining the Future in the Sixth Extinction, examines inspiration as a collective, relational process rooted in Nietzschean and Harawayan theories of becoming. She advocates for reimagining human resilience through kairotic connections in the context of ongoing environmental collapse.
