Program Description

Event Details

An open and supportive space to discuss social issues with respect and compassion. We engage with these issues to raise our social consciousness; to exchange ideas, understandings, and experiences. This session will focus on book bans and challenges, and attendance will serve as a bonus activity for the Banned Books Reading Challenge on Beanstack. 

The articles we will be discussing at this session are:
