Katie Hicks Williams

Over the years, I have been a traditional and nontraditional student; a medical assistant; a Navy cryptologic technician; a computer graphics professional; a university and community college teacher; and throughout it all, in various ways, a writer. I earned a BA in English and an MA in Communication Studies from the University of North Carolina Greensboro, and a PhD in Communication and Culture from Indiana University Bloomington. I’ve lived in multiple places in different regions of the United States—both East and West Coasts, the South, and the Midwest—and spent a combined six years in Italy and Spain while either in or affiliated with the Navy.

The project I am most proud of, because I believe it has the potential to be helpful to many people, is a book published by Routledge. It’s about my younger brother, his life with traumatic brain injury, and the complexities of belongingness (see About My Book; available here).

I’m now retired, sporadically and haphazardly blogging, and striving to do what I can to promote a more humane world from my home in Muncie, Indiana, where I love life with my husband Dyke.
