We could not have written this book without the feedback provided by colleagues from York University and other universities who were willing to be readers for us. We are incredibly grateful for your time and expertise. You include Jeffrey Aguinaldo, Renee Anspach, Greg Bird, Matthew Clark, Susan Ehrlich, Laura Funk, Susan Levesque, Ryan McVeigh, Carmela Murdocca, Riley Olstead, and Roberto Perin. We also thank Logan Donaldson and Elizabeth Quinlan for permitting us to use excerpts from their data.

We also could not have written it without our graduate students, who read whole or partial chapters or simply talked with us about some dilemma we faced as we were writing. We particularly thank Kritee Ahmed, Bojan Baca, Krista Banasiak, Megan Butryn, Selom Chapman-Nyaho, Ian Davidson, Julianne DiSanto, Erkan Ercel, Zhipeng Gao, Markus Gerke, Duygu Gl Kaya, Caitlin Janzen, Azar Masoumi, Shihoko Nakagawa, Marc Sinclair, Gkbr Tanyldz, and Jason Webb, as well as students in our graduate courses in Interviewing Methods and Qualitative Methods. For meeting the challenges of research assistance and support, we thank Rawan Abdelbaki, Daniel Blais, Angelina Duhig, and Adam King.

We thank the team at SAGE for believing in this project. We thank our family and friends who encouraged and inspired us. Our final thank-yous are for the places that made the writing easier. The New York Public Library reminded us of Patience & Fortitude, Lake Simcoe and Sir Winston Churchill Park brought us respite and perspective, and the tree window that Michael built framed our writing with the changing of the seasons.
