Hanna-Riikka Roine (PhD, dosent) er førsteamanuensis i digital kultur ved Universitetet i Bergen og tilknyttet Senter for digitale fortellinger (CDN).

Tidligere har hun jobbet som hovedetterforsker for et prosjekt Imagine, Democracy! Narrative Fiction as a Tool for Imagining Democracy in Finland (finansiert av Konestiftelsen) ved Narrare: Center for Interdisciplinary Narrative Studies ved Tampere University. Prosjektet spør hvordan og hva slags demokrati som forestilles i narrativ skjønnlitteratur skrevet og lest i Finland, og undersøker hvordan narrativ fiksjon gjør bruk av og kanskje reformerer, forsterker eller uthuler ulike former for fantasi som er sentrale i demokratiet.

Hanna-Riikkas postdoktorale forskningsprosjekt Drawing the Possible into the Present: Entanglements of Human and Computer in Speculation (CO-SPEC, Research Council of Finland, 2020-2023) fokuserte på å gi oss verktøy for å gjenkjenne og analysere måtene vår sammenfiltring med beregningsmedier påvirker, veileder og former vårt engasjement med det mulige. CO-SPEC undersøkte samtidig 1) måtene digitale teknologier har blitt viklet inn i fantasien vår, og 2) en rekke skjønnlitterære verk som illustrerer, tar i bruk og utfordrer denne sammenfiltringen.

Doktorgradsavhandlingen hennes (Tampere University, 2016) tok for seg verdensbygging som en av de mest grunnleggende retoriske og kommunikative praksisene i moderne spekulativ fiksjon, og fikk et sterkt løft fra fremveksten av digitale medier.

Hanna-Riikkas ekspertiseområder inkluderer digitale medier, narrativ teori, spillstudier (spesielt fortellinger i spill), spekulativ fiksjon og teorier om verdensbygging og fantasi.
