Join New York University’s Center for Disability Studies and Office of Global Inclusion for a conversation between author Katherine Standefer (who lives with an ICD) and media scholar Neta Alexander (who lives with a pacemaker) about the double-edged sword of implantable cardiac technologies.

Join Kati at the Utah Humanities Book Festival and the University of Utah School of Medicine’s Center for Health Ethics, Art, and Humanities for a lively discussion as part of the Evening Ethics speaker series. We'll explore how Standefer's complex experience as a "cyborg" and supply chain research map onto the Four Pillars of Medical Ethics, wrestling with questions about harm, justice, and autonomy on both the individual and communal level.

In this 90-minute gathering, writers have the opportunity to ask Kati their questions— whether craft questions about writing trauma, illness, and sexuality; the way a writing life intersects spiritual invitations; or what it means to put our work in the world at this moment.

In this 90-minute virtual workshop through Jackson Hole Writers, participants will explore how the big questions of our time inhabit the stories of our lives, digging into how our research paths, lines of inquiry, and attention to obsession might open even exquisitely personal stories into larger narratives.

Join Kati for a virtual reading at Elk River Books of Livingston, Montana, one of the communities where she worked on Lightning Flowers. The free event will stream live on Elk River Books’ Facebook page.

Join Kati for a reading and conversation on Colorado’s Front Range, where much of Lightning Flowers takes place.
