Writing Center, The Fairness, Justice, and Equity Center in the College of Education
Wednesday, September 21
3-4 p.m.
COE 164
“The Banned Books Week Coalition is an international alliance of diverse organizations joined by a commitment to increase awareness of the annual celebration of the freedom to read. The Coalition seeks to engage various communities and inspire participation in Banned Books Week through education, advocacy, and the creation of programming about the problem of book censorship. Books unite us. Books encourage boundless exploration and allow readers to spread their wings. Stories give flight to new ideas and perspectives. Reading—especially books that set us free—expands our worldview. Censorship, on the other hand, locks away our freedom and divides us from humanity in our own cages.” (https://bannedbooksweek.org/)
This event will include selected readings from banned books along with discussion protocols empowering attendees to think critically about the books being banned and why. During the event, leaders will have trivia questions provided by https://bannedbooksweek.org, and hand out door prizes provided by the College of Education and the Writing Center. Attendees will experience a gallery walk, discussing and analyzing from a list of banned books. All attendees will take home one book.
