Thanks Glenda. Most gratifying has been that, from time to time, the professor arranged live Twitter sessions so that I could respond to questions from her students as they sat in the classroom. And the students wrote amazing analyses of the book, tying it into what they were experiencing with social media. It's been a great privilege.
