ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ii When I was an undergraduate considering graduate school, my mentor warned me that pursuing advanced studies could at times be an isolating and lonely experience. Luckily, those days have been few and far between as advisors and colleagues created a unique community that extended beyond the boundaries of campus, spilling into research and extracurricular pursuits. I am foremost grateful for Sr. Jeannine Gramick and Fr. Robert Nugent’s willingness to open their lives and files to my prying curiosity. As a non-Catholic, heterosexual religious studies scholar, I neither fit the mold for the typical Catholic historian nor a scholar interested in LGBT history.
