Acknowledgements
This book has been a long time in the making. As such it bears the imprint of numerous influences, many of whom I presently acknowledge and thank, though I apologize in advance for any who I inadvertently overlook. Beginning at the University of Illinois, my doctoral advisor John W. Loy demonstrated the insight and humility to nurture my interdisciplinary persuasions, by encouraging me to take what were truly transformative courses with Lawrence Grossberg, Norman Denzin, Paula Treichler, Marianna Trekell, Susan Greendorfer, Syndy Sydnor, and Alan Peshkin. At Illinois, equally as important to formal coursework were the generative interactions between graduate students within the Department of Kinesiology’s sociocultural research area, whose number included: Steve Jackson, Toni Bruce, Nancy Spencer, Pirkko Markula, Amy Hribar, Marcelo Diversi, Lesley Fishwick, Mike Giardina, Darren Treasure, Chris Standefer, Jong-Young Lee, Dave McCann, Geneviève Rail, John Walker, Marcelo Diversi, Elizabeth Wheatley
