Drawing on a multi-year study that includes participant observations, interviews, and rhetorical engagement with public health campaigns, blogs, social media posts, and news articles, \u003ci\u003e Stigma Stories \u003c\/i\u003eadvocates for a rhetorical praxiographic approach that is attuned to the rhetorical processes, experiences, and practices in which stigma is enacted or countered. \u003cp\u003eEngaging interdisciplinary conversations from the rhetoric of health and medicine, disability studies, narrative medicine, and sociology, Kessler takes an innovative look at how stigma functions on individual, interpersonal, and societal levels. In doing so, Kessler reveals how stories and lived experiences have much to teach us not only about how stigma functions but also about how it can be dismantled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Molly Margaret Kessler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0814258336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780814258330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ohio State University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.98w x 0.71d","brand":"Molly Margaret Kessler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054294954239,"sku":"9780814258330","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9305d37d-b80a-4dc4-8e49-b1d1a2b36bcd.jpg?v=1685029123","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stigma-stories-molly-margaret-kessler-9780814258330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
