Om Anna Backman Rogers

I hold a PhD from the University of Edinburgh, UK. I previously worked at the University of Groningen, Netherlands and the University of Stockholm, Sweden.

I am the author of American Independent Cinema: Rites of Passage and The Crisis Image (Edinburgh University Press, 2015); Sofia Coppola: The Politics of Visual Pleasure (Berghahn 2018) which was a CHOICE Academic Title of the year for 2019; Still Life: Notes on Barbara Loden's 'Wanda' (1970) (Punctum Books, 2021); and Peter Weir's Picnic at Hanging Rock (BFI Classics/Bloomsbury: 2022).

I am the co-editor with Laura Mulvey of Feminisms (Amsterdam University Press, 2015) and the co-editor with Boel Ulfsdotter of Female Authorship and the Documentary Image: Theory, Practice and Aesthetics, and Female Agency and Documentary Strategies: Subjectivities, Identity, and Activism (both with Edinburgh University Press, 2018)

I am the co-founder and editor in chief, with Anna Misiak, of the online academic feminist journal MAI: FEMINISM AND VISUAL CULTURE (www.maifeminism.com)

I am the co-founder and editor in chief with Jenny Chamarette of the MAI imprint with Punctum Books (https://punctumbooks.com/imprints/mai-feminism-and-culture/)

I am currently preparing a monograph on the iconography of Lana Del Rey (Bloomsbury 2025/6). I am co-editing with Kimberly Lamm a book on the feminist legacies of filmmaker and theorist, Laura Mulvey (Bloomsbury, 2025); I am also co-editing with Suzanne Ferriss a book on female fashion photographers.

I sit on the board for the Key Debates series published with Amsterdam University Press (https://www.aup.nl/en/series/the-key-debates-mutations-and-appropriatio…)

I have been awarded the Riksbanken Jubileumsfond Sabbatical for research twice (2021, 2024).
