I’m excited to announce that my book has been published and is for sale. It was published in Lexington Book’s series on Health Communication. Disability researchers and educators interested of exploring the intersection of hidden disability, place, and race may be interested in checking it out. About the book: Numerous movies, YouTube videos, books, and public service announcements have begun to address people with narcolepsy, and this discourse has led to greater visibility and understanding about an often-misunderstood condition. In *Narratives of Narcolepsy in Everyday Life: Exploring Intricacies of Identity, Sleepiness, and Place*, Nicole Eugene draws on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and field notes to examine life with narcolepsy, with a particular focus on how certain socially-defined places play significant roles in determining the meaning of sleepiness, medication side effects, and other narcolepsy symptoms. Eugene also includes one autoethnographic essay that explores her own experiences with narcolepsy as a Black woman, refracted through the lens of the various places where sleepiness may arise. Throughout the book, an emphasis on making sense of narcolepsy by communicating with others with the condition demonstrates a peer-based approach to researching health communication and disabilities. Drawing on feminist disability studies, health communication, narrative inquiry, and autoethnography, this book is an example of interpretive qualitative communication research that renders the lives of vulnerable people with compassion and understanding. A Peek at Reviews: “Nicole Eugene skillfully weaves theory and personal narrative together to draw readers into the lived, embodied experience of narcolepsy. The rigorous, interdisciplinary, and accessible examination will appeal to established scholars and students across the social sciences and humanities invested in accessing the lived, embodied experience of invisible disability broadly, and narcolepsy specifically.” *— Julie-Ann Scott-Pollock, University of North Carolina Wilmington* You or can get 30% off if you buy from the R&L website, by using the code LXFANDF30. https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781666913187/Narratives-of-Narcolepsy-in-Everyday-Life-Exploring-Intricacies-of-Identity-Sleepiness-and-Place Thanks, Nicole Eugene, PhD Assistant Professor of Communication School of Arts & Sciences University of Houston-Victoria 3007 N.
