Hi all,

My name is Paul Fess, and I am an assistant professor at LaGuardia. I received my PhD from the CUNY Graduate Center, and I have also taught at Hunter, Lehman, and Queens Colleges. My academic interests concern the intersections of music and literature, and I am working on a few projects that examine nineteenth-century American music and the anti-slavery movement.

When I’m not teaching I play. I like all kinds of music, including Blues, Rock, Country, and Jazz. I’m also a dad to a boy and a girl. My wife and I just had our daughter in February.
