Acknowledgments xiii Warrick, Barbara Romaine, Brian Jones, and Rick Eckstein of Villanova University, and of Jane Satterfield, Ned Balbo, Barbara Vann, and Lovell Smith at Loyola University in Maryland. Thank you for seeing me and appreciating my efforts; I will forever appreciate yours. I spent almost every day revising this book with the brilliant sociologist Jessica Simes and the most incredible group of scholar-writer friends, including Cati Connell, Sultan Doughan, Merav Shohet, Jackie Jahn, Ana Villarreal, Paula Austin, Sarah Miller, and Saida Grundy. Thank you all for your encouragement and commiseration this year and beyond; your unwavering comradeship has made my heart full. The final months of revising this book amid a global pandemic, the 2020 US presidential election, and a move to the Midwest would have been overwhelming without the unconditional love and laughter from Sarah Gregory, my oldest friend from across the pond. My penchant for asking questions and challenging the answers is owed to my parents, Nancy and John. Thank you for always being so enthusiastic and understanding about my plans. All of my family members have been tremendous sources of encouragement and support during this project. Special thanks are also due to Kate and Don Picard for helping to make this work possible. To anyone I may have forgotten, please know that I value you beyond words. In closing, this book is dedicated to Layla Picard. She has been my daily source of inspiration to keep this project going. I am beyond lucky to have such a brilliant and all-around wonderful person as my wife and best friend. https://doi.org/10.1017/9781009272148 Published online by Cambridge University Press
