"This project had its inception at an international conference in Pittsburgh in November 2018 hosted by the European Studies Center of which one of us is the current Director. The conference brought together former students, colleagues, and scholars who were influenced by Sbragia's work to celebrate her contributions to the field of EU studies.... About half the submissions were included on the conference program, and the chapters in this volume were selected from those to demonstrate the breadth and depth of Sbragia's work."
