What’s Going On? Banned Books and Freedom of Speech: UI April 28 Civic Cafe Discussion

4/28/2023

In 2022, the American Library Association (ALA), reported a record number of demands to censor library books. Access to literature that tells the story of human history, or inspires change, and compels us to action, is fundamental in a healthy democracy.

Oboler Prize for best published work in the area of intellectual freedom. Emily recently co-edited Foundations of Information Ethics published by ALA Neal-Schuman . She also edited Trigger Warnings: History, Theory Context, published by Rowman & Littlefield. Emily’s previous book, Book Banning in 21st Century America, was also published by Rowman & Littlefield and is the first monograph in the Beta Phi Mu Scholars’ Series.
