It takes a village to write a book, in particular a book like this one. We started working on What is Cultural Literacy? in late 2017. Our belief then, as it is now, is that learning how to bridge differences across disciplines and cultures is key to addressing the great challenges that humanity faces. Throughout the journey of exploring and elaborating on this idea, raising awareness about it, and getting it to print, we have had the good fortune of collaborating with remarkable people, whose kindness and support have been crucial to the publication of this book. We would like to thank Shabnam Safa, Ema Stefanovic, Danielle Radivo, Ross Huggard, Emma Casey and Camille Murphy. Thank you for trusting us with your experience and your stories. None of this would have been possible without your goodwill and support. Many thanks to our colleagues at Monash University, in particular Dr Cathy Sell and Meaghan Harding. We are very grateful to the anonymous reviewers who provided constructive, useful suggestions
