Sangamithra Iyer, former Satya magazine editor and the author of Satya: The Long View will be in Portland to discuss her new book Governing Bodies. Satya was a nearly-monthly publication from 1994 to 2007 that covered issues related to veganism, animal rights, activism, and other related issues. Many of the articles in it are very thought-provoking, and they are all still available online even though Satya ceased publication about 18 years ago – see http://www.satyamag.com/backissues.html.

Sangamithra’s new book explores questions about how we disentangle ourselves from systems of harm and what is the relationship between individual action and systemic change, braided with her own experiences as a woman of color and citizen of the world. This free talk is sponsored by Literary Arts Bookstore. Click here for more information on her Portland presentation.
