Working dignity into urban geography Academic Article

abstract

• This commentary responds to Grossman and Trubina's (2022) article, Dignity in Urban Geography: Starting a Conversation. I consider their argument and framework for integrating a formal conceptualization of dignity into urban geography research, including the challenges they face in nailing down this slippery, abstract concept, and the many contributions their application presents to the field. In particular, I focus on the relationship between dignity and work which is notably absent from their discussion but nonetheless presents a productive line of inquiry given the analytical framework they construct.
