Description

"Speak[ing] Out for Banned Books": Countering Censorship and the Silencing of Stories in the 21st Century

Banned Books Week aims to highlight the ramifications of censorship while also promoting the freedom to seek and to express ideas, even those some consider unorthodox, unpopular, or taboo. Join students Tanya Ramsey, Kara Gavin, Asia Nicholson, and Alexia Petasis for an exciting panel discussion moderated by Dr. Christopher Varlack. Free lunch will be provided.

Sponsored by the Honors College; the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences; the English Department; the Individualized Study Program; and the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery's Committee on Social Media and Outreach.
