A thank you to our writers Reading these remarkable biographies, I am struck by how wonderfully warm our collegial relationships are at IU Bloomington. Each of the profiles within this publication was written by a colleague of the retiring faculty member. Each conveys beautifully the dedication, contributions, and spirit of the individual. Each displays an intimate knowledge of the faculty member’s body of work. And each reveals the depth of admiration that these incredible scholars and teachers have inspired. I offer my most sincere thanks to our writers for taking the time to craft these thoughtful and detailed biographies. You have done a great service to the IU Bloomington community in honoring the service of your friends. Lauren Robel Provost, Indiana University Bloomington Retiring Faculty / 1 Honoring Judith H.
