We received generous support from the Buffett Institute for Global Studies and the Science in Human Culture Program at Northwestern University. I am especially grateful to the Buffett Institute’s then director, Bruce Carruthers, and to my collaborators: Carol Heimer, Laura Pedraza-Fariña, Rebecca Seligman, Jeannette Colyvas, and, most recently, Adia Benton. For their unflagging encouragement, I am indebted to Ken Alder and Steve Epstein; and for their advice and thoughts before the project got off the ground, my thanks to Mitra Shirafi and Heinz Klug. Natasha Dennison and Janet Hundrieser provided terrific administrative assistance, while the indomitable Shan Chen Pu did helpful background research. My coordinating role was supported in part by a Buffett Institute Faculty Fellowship and my research by a Scholars Award from the National Science Foundation (Award #1456984).Several scholars enriched our conversations along the way by taking part in events that led to this volume, including Mark Harrison, Linda Barnes, Kaushik Sunder Rajan, Rosemary Coombe, Chidi Oguamanam, Madhavi Sunder, Siri Suh, Guillaume Lachenal, Bridie Andrews, Noelle Sullivan, David Schoenbrun, Richard Rottenburg, and Nancy Hunt. For their astute comments on earlier drafts, our special thanks to Claire Wendland, Paul Ramírez, Steven Palmer, Peter Locke, and two incredibly helpful anonymous reviewers.Without the Osiris editorial board’s willingness to take a risk on us, this volume never would have been possible. And without the sustained engagement from W. Patrick McCray and Suman Seth, it would have been much the poorer. To all the contributors who were willing to take up new projects, rewrite and reframe chapters, and explore genres of history writing (and storytelling) that were unfamiliar, my enduring gratitude. It has been an honor and a joy to think with–and learn alongside–one and all.
