POSTPONED: Watershed Reading Series

media release: Saturday's Watershed Reading by Chris Stedman and Meghan O'Gieblyn has been canceled due to unforseen circumstances. We look forward to hosting their reading in 2022.

Chris Stedman's book IRL: Finding Realness, Meaning, and Belonging in Our Digital Lives is a captivating exploration of identity in the digital age. Interrogating the conventional distinctions between real and fake, online and offline, Stedman asks whether virtual spaces might offer new sites of experimentation and play and satisfy our longing for meaning and community. Stedman will be in conversation with the writer Meghan O'Gieblyn (author of God, Human, Animal, Machine) to discuss what it means to be authentic at a moment of virtual immersion and how digital technologies are both changing and affirming longstanding ideas about what it means to be human. Join us in person for this event on Saturday, December 4 at 7:00pm. Free and open to the public.
