(THE COLLEGE FIX) -- From attempts to cancel conservative Matt Walsh’s “Johnny the Walrus” anti-trans children’s book to parents calling for pulling sexually explicit novels and comics from school libraries, the topic of banning books is a large part of today’s national discourse.
Amid that backdrop, Marymount Manhattan College is set to host author and scholar Emily Knox on May 3 on the topic of “understanding the discourse of censorship.”
Knox is an associate professor in the School of Information Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and author of many books, including “Book Banning in 21st-Century America.”
