He mentored us both well beyond graduate school with equal attention to kind- ness and scholarly rigor. We hope that he feels our gratitude, as well as the friendship and enthusiasm of each contributor, with every page. Thank you to the volume’s contributors, brilliant scholars and amaz- ing humans, every one of them. They have been patient, kind, and cheerful throughout the editing, revising, and publication stages. Abigail Fourspring and Megan Covone both provided valuable assis- tance with citations and formatting. Thank you to Dan Waterman, editor extraordinaire, whose encourag- ing enthusiasm and understanding of rhetoric buoyed us. The manuscript’s anonymous readers helped strengthen each essay and the volume as a whole. Publication of The Practice of Rhetoric is supported in part by the Mc- Courtney Professorship in Civic Deliberation. Debra Hawhee and Vessela Valiavitcharska
