Prof. Dr. Hanna Klimpe
Professor of Social Media

Deutsch

Originally from Oberhausen, Hanna Klimpe studied French, philosophy, journalism and communication sciences at the universities of Hamburg and Bordeaux. She went on to complete her bilingual PhD on self-representation as a model for scopes of freedom of action at the Institute of Romance Studies at the University of Hamburg and the Department of Social Sciences at the University Paris VII.

As a research assistant of the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW Hamburg), she contributed to launching an MA program in Digital Communication, which, for the first time in German higher education, hinged around a newsroom, as is common in American journalism schools. As a professor of Digital Communication, she was head of the International Media Communication degree program at the SDI Munich International University. Since 2019, she has been a professor of Social Media at HAW Hamburg.

Her research focuses on political communication and narrative dynamics, digital self-representation, how artistic expression and political action are intertwined on social media as well as examining the potential of online activism through a critical lens. Another focus is on media and cultural exchange between Eastern/Central and Western Europe, currently in the EU research project NARDIV - "United in Narrative Diversity? Cultural (Ex-)Change and Mutual Perceptions in Eastern and Western Europe at the threshold of the digital age", which examines the role of Foreign Cultural Policy and Soft Power in six Eastern/Central and Western European countries.

Alongside her academic career, Hanna Klimpe has been an independent digital consultant and social media strategist since 1999, working among others for C.H. Beck, Theater der Welt, Kampnagel Kulturfabrik, Abgeordnetenwatch and the Senate of Hamburg. She has also supervised student communication projects for Greenpeace or news website tagesschau.de. She was PR and digital officer at the Thalia Theater in Hamburg for several years and has been writing for the Germany daily newspaper tageszeitung, Financial Times Deutschland, TUSH Magazine, Vogue.de or Courrier International, among others, since 2005.

Please don't hesitate to contact Hanna via e-mail.
