Hilary Neroni is a Professor of English and Film Studies at the University of Vermont (UVM), affiliated with the College of Arts and Sciences. She received her Ph.D. from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts in 1999. Her research focuses on ideology in film and media, particularly examining representations of gender, race, and violence, with a strong emphasis on feminist theory, psychoanalysis, and Marxism.
Her major works include *The Violent Woman*, analyzing gender and violence in contemporary cinema; *The Subject of Torture*, exploring post-9/11 depictions of torture in TV/film; and *Feminist Film Theory and Cléo from 5 to 7*, a pedagogical text linking feminist theory to film analysis. She has also written extensively on women filmmakers like Claire Denis and Jane Campion.
Neroni teaches courses spanning film theory, genre studies, documentary film, and feminist critique. Her awards include the 2016 NEPCA/ACA Peter C. Rollins Book Prize and a BAFTSS Honorable Mention. She actively engages with contemporary cultural debates, such as the symbolism of Confederate monuments in Vermont, through psychoanalytic and Lacanian frameworks.
Her scholarship bridges theoretical rigor and practical film analysis, interrogating how media shapes—and is shaped by—cultural anxieties and power structures. She advises students in film studies and maintains a robust publication record across peer-reviewed journals and edited collections.
