“This Work Would Not Have Been Possible without . . .”: The Length of Acknowledgments in Sociology Books

• The length of acknolwegdements in scholarly books varies substantially by authors’ demographics. Women, people of color, and LGBQ scholars tend to write more about the people, resources, and conditions that made their books possible. So, too, do younger scholars and those whose parents have graduate degrees. These differences may indicate both the increased size of the support networks these authors draw on, and/or a greater awareness of those networks’ value.
