I’m thrilled that Christa Teston’s new book, Doing Dignity: Ethical Praxis and the Politics of Care, is now out with the Johns Hopkins University Press book series in Health Communication! Not only does this gorgeous book have an absolutely striking cover, but the insight Teston offers about the idea of dignity in the present moment, particularly in the contexts of disease, death, and disability, are insightful. Her dedication to drawing from diverse texts, methodologies, and voices makes this book a fantastic model for emergent and established scholars looking to explore dignity in their own research and lives. It is no surprise that people have already been sending me messages letting me know how much they are appreciating this very special book.
