Acknowledgments

Extract

This book was born out of years of discussions between us and others, many of which started during our time at the Department of Government and Politics at the University of Maryland at College Park (2001–2006 and 2004–2009, respectively). We met in Geoff Layman’s Advanced Quantitative Methods class in which Shanna drove Josh, the course TA, slightly crazy trying to understand minutia of the material. We first worked together in 2009 on our first article, a journal article on context and support for gay marriage—a paper that can be directly traced to the work of several of our graduate school advisors and that laid the groundwork and some of the foundational thinking on this book. The paper was the result of a cold email from Shanna to Josh while he was an Assistant Professor at the University at Buffalo, SUNY. That email was the start to what has become an important and wonderful friendship and a fun and productive professional relationship. Over the years, we have spent countless hours together in coffee shops, a grocery store food court, the lobbies of conference hotels, on the phone, and lately on Zoom, grabbing every chance we’ve had to develop research ideas and survey questions, and write together. As a result of that process, this book is a true collaboration. We can no longer sort out who wrote what or which idea was whose. It is the product of a decade of brainstorming and building on each other’s work. As a result, we owe each other a great deal of thanks and acknowledgment. Following standard political science tradition, authors are listed in alphabetical order, but the contribution is equal. Neither of us feels as though we could have written this book without our co-author.
