Annessa Ann Babic is a freelance writer, adjunct professor, and lecturer in New York. She specializes in women's studies, American social and cultural history, public health narratives, and transnational studies, with an emphasis on the modern Middle East and US-Turkish relations. She is the author or co-editor of several books and has produced numerous book chapters, reference entries, book reviews, and journal articles. Her publications address nationalism, women's rights, women's liberation, Turkish-US relations, transnational feminism, and travel literature. Her most recent book is America's Changing Icons (FDU Press, 2018). She has also guest-edited a special edition of the Journal of American Studies in Turkey focusing on travel narratives; previously, she co-edited an issue of Food and Foodways (with Tanfer Emin Tunc). Recent book chapters on Chinese American takeaway dinners, one concerning travel narratives, war, and literary icons (i.e., Anne of Green Gables), and co-written pieces on food narratives and activism (with Tunc) have populated her publishing landscape.

She has also taught courses ranging from American History to Environmental History. Her passions lie in cultural products and conflicts over consumption, geopolitics, and gender issues. She has won teaching fellowships as well as writing and research awards.

Aside from discursive teaching and examining popular culture venues of food and food products, Dr. Babic has also published extensively on the manifestation, evolution, and incorporation of modern cultural artifacts into our daily lives. Additionally, she has an active publishing career outside academia, writing travel and lifestyle pieces alongside fiction, and she works as an activist for women's and social causes. Currently, she is finishing a discursive project on travel literature and perceptions of place and space (focusing on Greece and Turkey) and working on a travel narrative book for the popular press.

Robert W. Rix (PhD, Dr Phil.) is Professor of English at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. He has published widely on the political, religious, linguistic, and cultural landscapes of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Rix’s research spans various topics, including nationalism, Nordic antiquarianism, and print culture/book history. A key focus of his work is Romanticism. He has made significant contributions to the study of William Blake and the radical subcultures that influenced his writings. In recent years, Rix has published on history and life in the Arctic, exemplified by his monograph The Vanished Settlers of Greenland: In Search of a Legend and Its Legacy (Cambridge University Press, 2023). His latest book, Nordic Terrors: Scandinavian Superstition in British Gothic Literature (Anthem Press, 2024), explores the rich interplay of Nordic myth and folklore within Gothic narratives of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. He is currently PI in DFF-funded project ‘Nordic Exceptionalism: Perspectives on a European Periphery (NEPEP)’.
