Banned Books Discussion: The Handmaid's Tale
March 7, 2024
12:00pm - 1:00pm
Faculty Center for Excellence, Pfau Library 4005
Please join us for a panel discussion on Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. Together, our panelists will explore the novel’s popular media representations while engaging the question of why it gets a reaction from book banners. They will also address why images from the book and its television series are relevant to recent social movements and events.
Panelists:
Prof. Rebecca Lubas, Dean of Libraries
Dr. Ece Algan, Communication Studies
Dr. Robert Kyriakos Smith, English
Dr. Jessica Luck, Chair of English Department
Facilitated by:
Dr. Rueyling Chuang, Dean of the College of Arts & Letters
