Acknowledgments

This book is a collaborative work beyond having four co-authors. Surveys and interviews generated much of our data, so we would like to thank the many people who completed the surveys and participated in the interviews. The following scholars generously shared their time, stories, and insights in interviews: Natasha Artemeva, Doug Brent, Rick Coe, Jay Dolmage, Aviva Freedman, Roger Graves, Dale Jacobs, Lorelei Lingard, Anthony Paré, Margaret Procter, Dan Richards, Cathy Schryer, Ron Sheese, and Graham Smart. We thank Aviva Freedman, Jim Reither, Sharon Hamilton, and Cathy Schryer for graciously providing biographical materials and responding to questions. We also appreciate Ian Pringle’s and Janice Lauer’s help with research: Ian searched his garage for conference materials and shared memories of his collaborations with Aviva Freedman, while Janice provided information on Canadian participation in the Purdue Seminar. We are grateful to scholars at the University of Rhode Island willing to share their work and materials, as well as those at the University of Winnipeg who shared their memories of the birth of the program.

We are also grateful to Andrea Lunsford for her invaluable contribution to the early development of Canadian writing studies and for writing the response.

We owe thanks to Roger Graves for suggesting at the Writing Research Across Borders Conference 2014 conference that we publish our research as a book. We would also like to thank the Inkshed editorial board, along with David Blakesley, who has given this book a wider audience by co-publishing it with Parlor Press.

We would like to acknowledge the University of Winnipeg and Eastern Michigan University for contributing funds for the editing and indexing of this book. We thank Jared Jameson for his meticulous copyediting and Jo-Anne Pelissier for her indexing.
