Hannah Regis is an Assistant Professor of Caribbean Literature at Howard University's Department of English within the College of Arts & Sciences. Previously, she taught for eight years at the University of the West Indies, St Augustine, where she earned her PhD (Literatures in English) with High Commendation in 2021.
Her research focuses on Caribbean poetics, spectrality, counter-archival engagements, and decolonial praxis. Key areas include hauntology, environmental humanities, and the intersections of cultural memory with colonial legacies. She has published widely in journals like Caribbean Quarterly, American Studies Journal, and eTropic, and authored the 2024 monograph A Caribbean Poetics of Spirit.
Her expertise spans postcolonial pedagogy, indigenous studies, and the blue humanities. Recent work explores tropicality through film (e.g., Avatar), queer subjectivity in contemporary literature, and decolonizing ecological narratives. She frequently contributes to special issues celebrating Caribbean intellectual legacies, such as honoring Professor Paula Eleanor Morgan.
Dr. Regis' scholarship bridges theoretical rigor with creative engagement, emphasizing reparative writing and embodied cultural memory. She actively participates in interdisciplinary dialogues about tropical landscapes, environmental justice, and the decolonization of knowledge systems.
