Michele Hanks is a Clinical Associate Professor at New York University. She is interested in people's experiences of conviction and doubt. This has led to her to conduct ethnographic fieldwork with paranormal investigators in England. More recently, she has been conducting ethnographic fieldwork with psychics in the US to understand the affective and political dynamics of their labor. She is the author of Haunted Heritage: The Cultural Politics of Ghost Tourism, Populism, and the Past (2015).
