Acknowledgments

I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation to Loretta Bass for mentoring me throughout this process. Her vision for this series made this volume possible.

I would like to thank the editorial team at Emerald, especially my editor, Kimberley Chadwick. I especially would like to acknowledge the guidance and work of the editorial board as well as the work of the anonymous peer reviewers who have conducted rich and detailed reviews, providing guidance to shape the final versions of the papers. Finally, I would like to thank all the contributors, who have exposed me to such new and exciting work in the field of education and youth.
