MICHELLE SPINELLI has been an avid fan of British television and movies for the last fifteen years. With a B.A. in English from Oberlin College and an M.A. in Women’s History from Sarah Lawrence College, Michelle has published in the area of women writers and reformers in the United States. She has a strong interest in the history of “madness” and is currently studying how the treatment of individuals with mental illness has changed over time in New York City, where she lives.

JAMES STACEY TAYLOR first encountered philosophy when growing up in England through watching Monty Python. As a result he came to believe that were he to move to Scotland he would secure instant fame as a great tennis player, and so decided to study for his first degree (an MA.) at St. Andrews University. He went on to complete an M.Litt. at St. Andrews, and then an M.A. and a Ph.D. at Bowling Green State University, Ohio. His most recent books are Personal Autonomy: New Essays (2005) and Stakes and Kidneys: Why Markets in Human Body Parts are Morally Imperative (2005). He likes bad puns.
