Acknowledgments

This project has been an illuminating adventure. We thank Stefinee Pinnegar for her confidence in allowing us the freedom to follow our vision. This project has not only grown our skills as writers and editors, it also provided us an opportunity to showcase the insights of a cadre of talented scholars, many of whom are at the beginning of their academic careers. Stefinee’s support, guidance, and faith in us has deeply inspired us.

We thank the Emerald Publishing Group, for their support and patience as we continue to learn about the vagaries of book editing.

Our scholar friends Cheryl Craig, Mary Lynn Hamilton, and Mary Rice provided strong and helpful feedback through our work with this group of authors. The manuscript is stronger from their guidance and contributions.

We also acknowledge and thank Michael Connelly and Cheryl Craig, both of whom have demonstrated through word and deed the importance and process of developing scholarship in the field.

And last, but not least, we thank our families for their ongoing support without which this work could not have been possible.
