Nick Gillespie is editor of Reason.tv and Reason.com, which draws 2.5 million visits per month and features the staff weblog Hit & Run, named by Playboy, Washingtonian, and others as one of the best political blogs.
Gillespie served as Reason magazine’s editor in chief from 2000 to 2008. Under his direction, Reason won the 2005 Western Publications Association “Maggie” Award for Best Political Magazine.

Gillespie’s work has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The New York Post, Slate, Salon, Time.com, Marketplace, and numerous other publications.

With an eclectic background combining elements of painting and programming, Ira Greenberg has been a painter, 2D and 3D animator, print designer, web and interactive designer/developer, programmer, art director, creative director, managing director, art professor, and author. He wrote the first major language reference on the Processing language, Processing: Creative Coding and Computational Art, friends of ED, 2007. Ira holds a BFA from Cornell University and an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania.
Ira has steadily exhibited his work, consulted within industry, and lectured widely throughout his career. He was affiliated with the Flywheel Gallery in Piermont, New York, and the Bowery Gallery in New York City. He was a managing director and creative director for H2O Associates in New York’s Silicon Alley, where he helped build a new media division during the golden days of the dot-com boom and then bust—barely parachuting back to safety in the ivory tower. Since then, he has been inciting students to create inspirational new media art; lecturing; and holding residencies at numerous institutions, including Trinity College (Dublin, Ireland), University of Edinburgh (UK), University of Iowa, University of Northern Iowa, Seton Hall University; Monmouth University; University of California, Santa Barbara; Kutztown University; Moravian College; Northampton Community College’s Digital Art Institute; Lafayette College; Lehigh University; the Art Institute of Seattle; Studio Art Centers International (in Florence, Italy); and the City and Guilds of London Art School (UK).
Currently, Ira is Associate Professor at Miami University (Ohio), where he has a joint appointment within the School of Fine Arts and Interactive Media Studies program. He is also an affiliate member of the Department of Computer Science and Systems Analysis. His research interests include aesthetics and computation, expressive programming, emergent forms, net-based art, artificial intelligence (and stupidity), physical computing, and computer art pedagogy (and anything else that tickles his fancy). One of his passions is torturing defenseless art students with trigonometry, algorithms, and object-oriented programming, and he is excited to spread this passion to the rest of the world. He is currently at work on a new Processing book due out spring 2009.
Ira lives in charming Oxford, Ohio with his wife, Robin; his son, Ian; his daughter, Sophie; their squirrel-obsessed dog, Heidi; and their night prowler cat, Moonshadow. When not sitting aimlessly in front of his laptop, you can usually find Ira getting checked against the boards at the local ice rink.

Laura Mandell received her Bachelor of Arts in English/French (summa cum laude) at the University of New Mexico and her MA and Ph.D. in English Literature from Cornell University, graduating in 1992. Additionally, she has studied at the Sorbonne (1979), the School for Theory and Criticism (1991), and Cincinnati Psychoanalytic Institute (1997-2000).
She is currently Associate Professor of English Literature, Affiliate of the Women’s Studies Program, and Director of Research Initiatives for Interactive Media Studies, beginning in 2006. She teaches British eighteenth-century and Romantic literature, as well as Graduate, Honors, English, and IMS courses in Digital Media ( http://www.muohio.edu/englishtech). She has won a CELT Award for Teaching Excellence (2002), as well as grants for course development from OLN (Ohio Learning Network) and CETE (Committee for Enhancing Teaching Excellence). She is editor of an online journal called The Romantic Pedagogy Commons.
Her academic works include a book, Misogynous Economies: The Business of Literature in Eighteenth-Century Britain (1999), a Longman Cultural edition of The Castle of Otranto / Man of Feeling (2006), a Web edition/database called The Poetess Archive, (currently under peer-review), as well as numerous articles in ELH, MLQ, Profession, and journals in the field of Romanticism. She has won a paper prize from CORST (a division of the American Psychoanalytic Association) in 1999 for her essay, “Melancholia’s Cure, or Resurrection by Poetry.” She began working on Internet resources as co-editor with Alan Liu of The Romantic Chronology.
After recently teaching herself TEI encoding and XSL programming, Laura is currently working on a visualization tool for the Poetess Archive. This tool will produce new kinds of humanities research by allowing scholars to ask research questions about relationships among the form, themes, and physical media of nineteenth-century British and American popular poetry. The tool will generate multiple graphics produced with minor variations in search constraints that can be viewed all together, juxtaposed on a page. Enabling quickly apprehensible, visible comparisons, this tool will encourage perceiving and investigating correlations among data that might have gone unnoticed without it.
Publications by Laura Mandell
Misogynous Economies: The Business of Literature in Eighteenth-Century Britain (Lexington: Univ. Press of Kentucky, 1999).
Some kinds of misogyny are used in eighteenth-century literature for what we might call “good” purposes, to resist the commodification of literature and even to resist the sexism inherent in idealizing representations of women, i.e., even for feminist purposes. The efficacy of such resistance, however, depends upon being able to read that misogyny as a rhetorical figure rather than as having a real referent, the female body. Misogyny becomes virulent when we de-rhetoricize it: some texts do that, but also some readers do it no matter what is going on in the text being read. To see misogyny as rhetorical is not to deny that it has had insidious effects: misogynous representations have indeed promoted the oppression of women. It is just to notice that misogyny as a rhetoric serves many functions. This book deals with two, specifically: the promotion of capitalist desires, and the construction of the canon.
