For serving on my defense committee, I wish to thank Dr. John Pultz, who imparted some of his vast knowledge of photography to me during my time at KU, and Dr. Linda Stone-Ferrier, who once called me a “model of dissertation writing” because she knew that my absence around campus meant I was buried in my books. I am grateful to Dr. David Lubin and the students of the Murphy Seminar for their contributions to chapter five. I also want to thank Maud Humphrey for her help in navigating the ins and outs of KU’s requirements.
