His work bridges rhetoric with political economy, examining topics like economic performativity, environmental stewardship, and the rhetoric of science/technology. He has edited multiple volumes, including Communication and the Economy, and co-founded the NCA Division Economics, Communication, and Society.
Recent articles analyze entanglement theory, rhetorical hegemony, and anticapitalist solidarity. His teaching spans rhetorical theory, critical theory, and disability rhetoric. Hanan's interdisciplinary approach addresses systemic power structures and their material-discursive impacts.
