De-Normalizing Censorship Speaker Series
De-Normalizing Censorship Speaker Series
Albert S. Cook Library, Towson University
Censorship is often framed as a good faith debate in response to controversial books, rather than a political tool that both silences minoritized voices and lays the groundwork for controlling public institutions. The current pro-censorship movement has launched a well-coordinated national campaign to destabilize public schools, universities and libraries. Even if the current wave of challenges subsides, states are codifying the aims of this movement into laws and rolling back hard-won curricular progress at all levels of education. In this three-part series, hear from scholars, educators, and advocates who are working to turn the tide, in part by re-thinking how we can all respond more effectively to these attacks on our democracy. April 13th; April 18th; April 27 – (all 5pm, all virtual)
