This book offers a new way of thinking about data that is based on reflection, awareness, and responsibility, and has been influential as I regard my own past and future of using, creating, and teaching about data.

This incredible novel opened up the world of Latin American literature and magical realism to me at a time when I desperately needed to behold something beautiful in life. It had such a powerful impact that I was compelled to change my major (at a most inconvenient time, I might add). May we all find beauty and inspiration when it has eluded us.

At the Center for Sport, Peace & Society, we believe sport is our superpower. And like every superpower, it can be used for good or evil - it all depends on whose hand it is in. When coupled with courage, compassion, and commitment to something more precious than gold medals and championship rings, sport has the power to unite, heal, and offer hope. Outcasts United is a beautiful story of the power of sport in the lives of refugees searching for a new sense of belonging and healing from the traumatic effects of war and violence.

Reading Metaphors We Live By cemented my interest in becoming a linguist. This classic illustrates compellingly that human language and human ways of understanding are entwined, and it shows that human language is profoundly physical as well as inherently social.

When I look back at my memories on that book, I remember the long nights that we spent with my first students writing a chapter that is included in this collection. This book chapter was perhaps the beginning of a successful career at the University of Tennessee.

As a Chinese American Woman myself, I have become more interested in finding my social identity in this country. I hope this book helps me and other women of Chinese cultural heritage know the history and find our identities in this country.
