    “While I have written books, coedited volumes, and special issues, I feel I should have known some of the things I am learning now, but I do not. Academia can be an intimidating place but Laura’s approach feels like one of rare kindness and acceptance – that I am taking my not knowing as an opportunity (rather than weakness).”
