Acknowledgements
Many people have helped me out along the long road of writing this book, and doing the research that inspired it. I will try to remember them all here. Thank you to Angus Bancroft and Steve Platt, who each provided vital support during the original research project. Thanks also to the changing community of academics in the School of Social and Political Science at the University of Edinburgh, though particularly Ruth Lewis, Sarah Hill, Miriam Snellgrove, Heather Blenkinsop, Jennifer Fleetwood and Fraser Stewart. The University of Edinburgh’s Sociology of Health and Illness writing group—Martyn Pickersgill, Neneh Rowa-Dewar, Nick Jenkins, Catriona Rooke and Emma Rawlins—gave commentary and support on early drafts and ideas. At the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships (CRFR), Emma Davidson, Fiona Morrison, Lesley Kelly, and before them, Kelly Sheill-Davis and Sue Milne, were all sources of welcome distraction and unwavering support. Other CRFR colleagues, Sarah Morton, Christina McMellon and especially Tineke Broer have extra thanks for commenting on draft chapters. At the University of Edinburgh I was lucky to be mentored by a number of excellent colleagues: Sa
