Acknowledgements

This project and book would have been impossible without our wonderful contributing authors; we would like to thank them for trusting us with their inspiring reflections and for their resiliency and professionalism.

We are equally indebted to those whose writing didn’t quite make it into these pages. We’d like to extend our particular thanks to the original contributors of the 2022-23 seminar who we were not – for one reason or another – able to include in this collection, but whose discussions helped shape this book nonetheless.

Special thanks to our publisher, Emma Gallon, for her attentive care and invaluable role in the production of this volume. We’d also like to thank the two anonymous peer reviewers for their thoughtful feedback early in the process.

Anna-Maria would like to thank her co-editor, Michael, for being such a terrific collaborator and for helping see this project through to the end.

She would like to thank Jane Winters for being an inspiring mentor and supporting us in this seminar series and publication. Special thanks to the entire team at DHRH, as well as colleagues from the various projects she has worked on over the years, for reinforcing her belief that digital scholarship is far from a failed discourse, practice and career choice. To Vassilis, Loukia and David, for being a positive force in her life.

Michael is grateful to Anna-Maria for being a generous and understanding co-editor, without whom this book would not have been completed.

He would also like to thank Jane Winters, Naomi Wells, and the rest of the team at the University of London being so supportive of the project. To his parents, Michelle and Victor, for being his first and best editors and to Chris for teaching him to think computationally. To Lily, for all her love and support.

We hope our efforts as editors of this volume have not failed. But even if they have, this failure remains a labour of love.
