In addition, we would like to thank Emily Bryant-Mundschau from St. Mary’s University in San Antonio, Texas, for allowing us to reprint her e-mails about Harry Potter. We began this project by drafting Chapter 7 "Writing about History and Culture from a New Historical Perspective"—the success of this chapter is owed to Paige Caulum and Stefanie Jochman who allowed us to use their essays as examples and who helped us craft descriptions of their writing processes. We also need to express thanks to Michelle Poncelet, the English assistant at St. Norbert, who did a wonderful final copyediting of the text. Finally, we need to extend special gratitude to Gretchen Panzer: she was our editorial assistant throughout the project and provided keen critical eyes to make each chapter stronger. Gretchen also created drafts of the bibliographies for each chapter and wrote the section on ecofeminism for Chapter 8 "Writing about the Natural World". Gretchen is currently working on her PhD in women’s and gender studies at Indiana University.
