This thesis could have very easily gone nowhere had I been left to my own devices. It is through the help of my amazing network of mentors, friends, and family members that I have not only completed it, but done so without sacrificing my mental well-being. Deep thanks to my thesis mentor, Typhaine Leservot, without whose attention to detail, love of deadlines, and unfaltering enthusiasm I would most certainly not have completed this work. It is because of her belief in my ability and her high expectations that I have pushed myself farther than I thought possible.
Thanks also to my family for feigning interest when necessary and generally showing support of my efforts, even when I was less than thrilled with them. Finally, but of utmost importance, I offer my sincerest thanks to my network of friends here at Wesleyan. Without the long nights of tea and griping, the reassurance continually offered, and the elaborate constructed fantasies of post-thesis adventures, I would have been completely lost. After all, there was more to this thesis than watching YouTube videos of Zinedine Zidane (even if that was the best part). Thank you to everyone who helped me with this process.
