For our children, Jagan, Madhavi, Arjun, Ishaan, and Asha, The next generation of artists, innovators, scholars, and creative thinkers

As Editors of this collection, it is with deep respect and admiration that we pay tribute to Dr. James Catterall, who passed away during the publication of this book. Throughout his illustrious career, Dr. Catterall shared his love of the arts, his passion for creativity, and his intellectual curiosity. His numerous publications and contributions to the field included chapter contributions to the seminal work, Champions of Change: The Impact of the Arts on Learning (1999), which influenced a generation of arts researchers, educators, funding agencies, and students. His scholarship has changed the landscape of arts research, and we are profoundly honored to publish his last written work in these pages. Rekha and Ivonne
