ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I am indebted to Georgia Warnke’s After Identity as serving as one of the main impetuses for this book. And I have very much appreciated the various exchanges we have had (both formal and informal) in which she has carefully and critically read and commented on my work. I have also benefited immensely from the challenging, clarifying, and insightful comments of Sally Haslanger and other WOGAP participants on a part of Chapter 2 that I presented at MIT. I am grateful to Rachel Fredericks and Esa DiazLeon, both of whom took time and care to read and comment on parts of Chapter 4. I am also appreciative of the anonymous reviewers along the way who have helped me make this a stronger final project. Colleagues (present and former)
