Garrett Hartman Strpko

I am a teacher and researcher in the area of Film and Media Studies, currently pursuing my PhD in Communication Arts at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. My primary interests range from film phenomenology to postwar American cinema and video game studies.

I received my BA in Philosophy and Film & Media Studies from Calvin University (formerly Calvin College) in 2020, and my MA from Washington University in St. Louis in Film and Media in 2023. My current research is focused on cinematic representations of the past and their influence on spectators' own relationship to history and historical consciousness. My most recent publication is a book chapter on cinema and moral reflection co-authored with Carl Plantinga for What Film Is Good For (ed. Julian Hanich and Martin P. Roussow).
