Annie McClanahan is Assistant Professor of English at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee where she teaches contemporary American literature and culture, Marxist theory, and interdisciplinary approaches to economic crisis. She was a Mahindra Humanities Center Postdoctoral Fellow in 2010-11, and a Fellow at the Society for the Humanities at Cornell University in 2012-13. She will be a Fellow at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Center for 21st Century Studies in 2013-14. She is currently completing a book manuscript entitled, Dead Pledges: Debt, Crisis, and 21st-Century Culture. Theorizing new modes of uncertainty and belief, character and credibility, social cohesion and collective default, Dead Pledges explores how cultural texts have been compelled to account for the expansion and collapse of a financialized credit economy. Her work has appeared or will appear in Representations, Post-45, South Atlantic Quarterly, Journal of Cultural Economy, qui parle, and symploke, and has been translated into Spanish for an edited volume on the international student movement. She is also co-editing a special issue of Journal of American Studies on genre and financialization.
