Acknowledgements
One of the reasons I find sociology so useful is that it highlights the social nature of individual undertakings. This book would not have been possible without the support of so many people. I owe a great debt of gratitude to my dissertation committee, as this project began at Indiana University, Bloomington. Patricia McManus has been an incredibly generous and formidable mentor throughout the years. Together with the rest of my committee, Art Alderson, Clem Brooks, Bernice Pescosolido, and Brian Steensland, she has provided incisive and constructive feedback on this project. I am also indebted to Brian Powell, who has always made himself available for questions and comments. I have also been fortunate to count on the personal and intellectual support of many friends and colleagues: Aaron Ponce, Abby Shaddox, Alya Guseva, Ann McCranie, Anna Zajacova, Carly Schall, Carrie Larson, Casey Oberlin, Christi Smith, Claudia Geist, Dana Prewitt, Dave Messenger, Dee Redmond, Dean Noy, Donna Barnes, Emily Bowman, Emily Meanwell, Evie Perry, Fabio Rojas, Jaime Kucinskas, Jamie and Deb Prenkert, Jenn and Dave Cho
