Acknowledgments

We would like to thank all our contributors for their work, their patience, and their generosity during the process of peer review. This is a much better volume for their collective wisdom.

We thank Lauren Klein and Matthew Gold for their invaluable help and guidance throughout the process; Leah Pennywark for her editorial work; and the copy editors and proofreaders at the University of Minnesota Press. For their examples and guidance, we thank Brian Croxall and Diane Jakacki, the original participants at the MLA Panel on the Digital Futures of Graduate Study, including many of the contributors here, Elizabeth Maddock Dillon, Roopika Risam, and Patrick Jagoda. For offering invaluable suggestions at the beginning of the project, we thank Jennifer Guiliano.

At Clemson, we thank Camille Cooper, our invaluable digital humanities librarian; the exploratory DH PhD committee that began much of this work, including Vernon Burton, Lindsay Thomas, David Blakesley, Jan Holmevik, and Diane Perpich; and the leadership of Dean Richard Goodstein and Dean Nicholas Vazsonyi throughout the debates over graduate studies within the college.
