About the event

What Can We Learn About Being Human From Life Online?
For much of history, humans have grappled with questions of meaning and belonging within institutions like churches and civic groups. Today, more and more people are leaving religious and other communal institutions and moving their search for connection and significance to digital space. Especially after years of social distancing and online learning, the work of being human—exploring life’s big questions, finding a sense of identity and context, and connecting with others—increasingly happens on the internet. How is this changing our understanding of who we are, and can we find real community online? Join author, podcaster, and professor Chris Stedman for a conversation with Joan Shiels about his book IRL, what it means to be “real” in the age of Instagram of TikTok, and what we can learn from the novel ways of being and belonging that are emerging online.

This program is presented in collaboration with the Miller Art Museum and Write On, Door County
