Acknowledgements

We extend our thanks to the many people who have worked to make this publication possible. We would like to call attention to the often unseen work of the many individuals whose support has been indispensable in publishing these volumes. Regarding the Communication and Information Technologies Section in the American Sociological Association (CITASA), we thank the Council for laying the groundwork for the section’s sponsorship of the series. At ASA, we particularly appreciate Karen Edwards for her efforts and support with this process. Our thanks also go to our newly founded Editorial Board Members for their service disseminating our outreach and publicity. In addition, at Emerald Publishing, we deeply appreciate Cristina Irving Turner’s unceasing labors in breathing new life into the series and the Emerald editorial staff’s contributions in bringing the volumes to press. Finally, we recognize the reviewers who provided excellent suggestions for authors to hone their contributions – their expertise and insight were indispensable.
