Hannah Star Rogers

Hannah Star Rogers is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Copenhagen's Medical Museion within the Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences and Department of Public Health. Her work bridges art-science integration through scholarly research and curatorial practice, with significant contributions to Art, Science, and Technology Studies (ASTS).

Rogers' research centers on knowledge politics in art-science collaborations, metabolic frameworks in artistic production, and exhibition-based knowledge shaping. Her curatorial practice examines how museums mediate scientific discourse, with six major exhibitions exploring embodied and material dimensions of science. Key methodologies include collaborative curation as research and metabolic processes as conceptual tools for interdisciplinary work.

Recent publications reveal a cohesive trajectory examining curatorial epistemology within ASTS, with recurring emphasis on metabolism as both biological process and metaphorical framework. This work positions exhibitions as critical sites for knowledge co-creation, demonstrating how artistic practices transform scientific understanding through material engagement and sensory experience.

Rogers' recognition includes:

• RWTH KHK Culture of Research, Expanding STS Fellowship (2025)
• Mads Øvlisen Postdoctoral Fellowship, Novo Nordisk Foundation (2026)
• Postdoctoral Fellowship (2022)
• British Society for the History of Science, Exhibiting Excellence Prize (2013)

Her grant portfolio features competitive fellowships from Novo Nordisk Foundation and RWTH KHK supporting ongoing projects including the edited volume 'What Curators Know: Art and Science in Museums' (2025). While no formal advisees are documented, Rogers maintains extensive collaborative networks with artists and scientists through exhibition projects and conference organization. Current research explores metabolic arts as frameworks for understanding knowledge production.

At Medical Museion, Rogers contributes to a dynamic research environment investigating medicine's intersections with art and history. The institution serves as an experimental platform for art-science collaborations, hosting exhibitions that challenge disciplinary boundaries through innovative curation and public engagement strategies.
