UTLIT 204 Banned Books
This course explores the history, implications, and controversies surrounding banned, challenged, and censored books both locally, in the United States, and globally, throughout the world. It provides students with a unique opportunity to engage with literature that has challenged societal norms and to evaluate why. Together, we will discuss the cultural and political contexts that sparked the controversies surrounding these texts. Students who complete this course will have a deeper understanding of the impact of censorship on literature and society and the importance of defending the right to read and express ideas freely.
