Roxanne Panchasi is Associate Professor of History at Simon Fraser University, Canada. She is the author of Future Tense: The Culture of Anticipation in France Between the Wars (Cornell University Press, 2009) and the founding host of New Books in French Studies, a podcast channel on the New Books Network. Her research and writing has explored a range of themes and questions, including: handwriting analysis in nineteenth-century France, the "uncanny" rehabilitation of wounded soldiers during the era of the First World War; history pedagogy; experimental and documentary cinema; nuclear weapons; and, mostly recently, popular music. Pieces from her current project on the "French bomb" in empire have appeared (or will soon appear) in History of the Present, French Fiction and Film for Scholars of France (now Imaginaries), Jadaliyya, and Apocalyptica: the Journal of the Centre for Apocalyptic and Post-Apocalyptic Studies at the University of Heidelberg.
