Anat Dan is a film and media scholar and video maker. She is a doctoral candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in global documentary media cultures with a focus on critical humanitarianism and human rights studies. Her dissertation, Humanism by Other Means: Global Documentary, Human Rights Cultures, and Posthumanism, examines a growing trend in contemporary global documentary filmmaking, particularly at documentary and human rights film festivals: films that depict human rights violations in the absence of a human figure.
