Reflections on Academic Lives
We would like to thank all the authors who contributed reflections to this book. Their words and views are their own, and we appreciate their willingness to share their personal experiences. Shannon: It takes a village to raise an academic, and I am very thankful for my village. I would like to thank my husband Marco and daughter Bella for their love and support in all that I do. I would especially like to thank my dad who inspired me to follow in his footsteps in academia. From the time I was a child, he taught me the importance of work/life balance, respect for students, and finding joy and meaning in your work. I’d also like to thank my fabulous co-author Staci, who went from job candidate to friend in short order and has made academia more fun as a result. Staci: I never wanted to be an academic, yet life takes you on funny turns. Thanks to my parents Nancy and Richard for their love and support. They listen as I ramble on about research, teaching, and academic life. Thanks to Shannon, who is willing to be an intrepid explorer and find the best desserts in the world with me.
