Author’s Notes · On Methodology & Purpose
The Human Standard Across Every Page
These books, monographs, and articles bring together three decades of etiquette education at the Susie B Finishing School of Etiquette Education, frontline survivor advocacy, and institutional ethics. Whether examining the daily realities of maximum-security confinement, dismantling the silence surrounding childhood sexual abuse, or guiding young adults through digital civility, my central question remains constant: how do our institutions and everyday choices honour human dignity?
