Acknowledgements

Many people have worked together to bring this book to publication, and we are grateful for their support and commitment throughout this project. This book is a publication of the Transforming the Field Education Landscape (TFEL) project. We would like to thank the contributors in the book for sharing their field research in TFEL’s Field Research Scholar program in 2020–2021 and with a broader audience in this collection.

The development of the book was supported by members of the Transforming the Field Education Landscape (TFEL) project, which held a Summer Institute on Academic Writing in Field Education in 2021. We acknowledge the role of faculty mentors in the Institute that provided writing guidance and support to contributing authors: Jill Hanley (McGill University), David Nicholas (University of Calgary), Sally St George (University of Calgary), Tamara Sussman (McGill University), Christine Walsh (University of Calgary), and Dan Wulff (University of Calgary). We especially thank Telford-Anthony Pattinson, Paul Papin, Lee-Ann Penalua, and Lucy Amadala for facilitating writing workshops on strategies for writing literature reviews, procrastination and time management, critical thinking and scholarly writing, academic integrity, and stress management.

We also benefited greatly from the many student research assistants and postdoctoral scholars who assisted in the Field Research Scholars program and in the book at various stages: Mohammad Idris (Omid) Alemi, Wasif Ali, Evalyna Bogdan, Tara Collins, Hilary Daum, Vibha Kaushik, Godfrey Makoha, and Mohammed Nurudeen Musah. We are grateful to Emmanuel Chilanga and Olena Babenko for coordinating the project. We would especially like to thank Erin Leveque for copy editing and proofreading the manuscripts with great skill and diligence. We are thankful to Brian Scrivener at The University of Calgary Press for his support and enthusiasm.

We would like to acknowledge the contribution of our co-editor Marion Bogo who suddenly passed away in the fall of 2021. She actively participated in the development of the book process, attentively reviewed chapters, provided comments to the authors, and supported the project. We hope that she would have been pleased with the outcome of the book.

Transforming the Field Education Landscape (TFEL) project is supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.
