Description
Join us for a panel discussion about the reading and teaching banned books. Recent policies and legislation across the US have made the reading and teaching of banned books even more difficult in K-12 classrooms and libraries. To learn more about the impact of these practices on students, teachers, and communities, please join us for a panel discussion with:
- Emily Pendergrass, Associate Professor of the Practice of Literacy Education
- Matthew Shaw, Assistant Professor of Law & Assistant Professor of Public Policy & Education
- Brianna Newhouse, Current VU Student & Future Teacher
We hope you will join us, and we look forward to seeing you there!
