An Evening with John Hendrickson
In conversation with stuttering researcher Dr. Soo-Eun Chang, director for the Speech Neurophysiology Lab at the University of Michigan.
Join us for an evening with John Hendrickson, staff writer at The Atlantic and author of the memoir, Life on Delay: Making Peace With a Stutter.
In 2019, John Hendrickson wrote a groundbreaking story for The Atlantic about Joe Biden’s decades-long journey with stuttering, as well as his own. The article went viral, reaching readers around the world and altering the course of his life. Overnight, he was forced to publicly confront an aspect of himself that still caused him great pain.
But, he also learned he wasn’t alone: strangers who stutter began sending him their own personal stories. In his memoir, Hendrickson dives deep into the unique experiences of stutterers. Along the way, he answers lingering questions about himself—and about stuttering—that he was once too afraid to ask.
John will speak in conversation with stuttering researcher Dr. Soo-Eun Chang, director for the Speech Neurophysiology Lab at the University of Michigan.
This event will provide profound insights into John’s experience with stuttering and the future of stuttering research and neuroscience-based treatments.
An audience Q&A and book signing will follow.
After the talk, John will sign copies of his book, Life on Delay: Making Peace With a Stutter. If you don’t already own a copy, books will be available for purchase courtesy of Literati Bookstore.
