About this event
In a dynamic conversation on censorship, education and the right to read, Teukie Martin, Ph.D. Candidate in Inclusive Education, will lead participants through the history and politics behind the current wave of book bans and challenges, the mechanisms through which censorship occurs, and how we can resist as scholars, educators and community members. This teach-in invites students, educators and readers of all backgrounds to engage in open dialogue and defend intellectual freedom. Banned Books Week is organized by Syracuse University Libraries and the College of Arts & Sciences' Department of English, along with sponsors: the Departments of Religion; Women's and Gender Studies; Art and Music History; LGBT Studies; Languages, Literatures, and Linguistics; Political Science; and Writing; The Humanities Center; as well as the Tully Center for Free Speech and Maxwell School's Community Geography Program.
