About the Author(s)

By day, Paul Muhlhauser and Kelly Bradbury are assistant professors of English (Rhetoric and Composition) at The College of Staten Island, CUNY. By night, we are musicians (i.e., play in a band and own a drum set), rebel-rousers (i.e., don't always curb pets or keep grade books sutured to our backs), animal lovers (i.e., own pets), and thrill-seekers (i.e., we ride the NYC subway).
