Bruins Read Banned Books

Summer 2023 & Spring 2024

Description: 

Bruins READ Banned Books came about in 2023 as “The Banned Book Club.” Book bannings were well under way in Utah at this point, and their continued institution underlines our discussion. In order to weasel out of rhetorical red-tape, the name change has occurred, with an emphasis on READ! We are analyzing what may have gotten the book banned in the eyes of the school district. This space is dedicated to mutual growth, democratic process and transparency! Bruins READ Banned Books is run as a program through the SLCC Honors Program. Special thanks to Program Manager Kathy Tran-Peters, Assoc. Dean Mike Young, Dr Sahar Al-Shoubaki and all of the students who have shown interest.

Reflection: 

This was co-created as a group and posted as a LIVE Google Site, which can be found at this link.

Please share and use as a resource to engage with book bans in Utah!
