Authors night: Annessa Babic received her PhD from Stony Brook University (2008), and her next work—a full length manuscript—is under review for press (“Undoing Glory: Gendered Constructions of Patriotism in Twentieth Century US Society, 1917-1972”). One of her more recent pieces, titled “What Lies Beneath: Jasper Johns’ Flag (1954–1955) as a Mirror for the Changing Face of Postwar Patriotism,” can be found in The Theme of Cultural Adaptation in American History, Literature and Film: Cases When the Discourse Changed (Edwin Mellon Press, 2009).

In addition to academic pieces, she has contributed to Lupus Now (a magazine for Lupus patients and those seeking material on the disease); her most recent essay/memoir is “Just Cut My Wings And Let Me Fly.”

She is co-author of “The Globetrotting Shopaholic: Consumer Products, Spaces, and Their Cultural Places.” Currently, she is working on a new manuscript discussing the image of the soldier verses the veteran.
