Acknowledgements

So many people including friends, academic colleagues and students have helped me directly and indirectly in writing this book by expressing their views and engaging in debates about the topics covered here. I am grateful to the School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice at University College Dublin for providing a supportive work environment and to the Newman Centre for The Study of Religions at UCD for giving me an opportunity to discuss some of the ideas and debates about viewpoint diversity which I address here. I especially thank Jim O’Brien for listening, Tim Mooney for feedback and my daughter Eilis Fanning for her insights. The book is dedicated to Eilis.
