Acknowledgements

Bodies and Structures began as a chance encounter at an Association for Asian Studies panel in 2016. Since then, we have hosted three conferences, worked closely with five module builders, had a hundred email conversations with the Scalar team at the Alliance for Networking Visual Culture, and benefited from the time, treasure, and generosity of numerous institutions and individuals. We thank you for your support and commitment. We could not have done this without you.

We would also like to extend a special note of gratitude for our families. Thank you for sharing in our excitement about the Bodies and Structures project and for pushing us to make it what we wanted it to be. We are particularly grateful for the contributions of one baby Decker, who amiably tolerated more than the typical infant's share of Google Docs writing sessions and kept our Skype meetings short and to the point.
