Who has the right to ban a book? In schools – in libraries – in the public domain? We will start the course with a TED talk delivered by Jonathan Friedman, Ph.D, the Director of free expression and education programs at PEN America [and the husband of Marcia’s goddaughter.]  We will also learn from materials provided by the American Library Association and their Office of Intellectual Freedom.

Instructor: Marcia Tannenbaum
