Scholars from across disciplines in the Department of English at ASU present their research on the general theme of “censorship.” Topics covered include book banning in schools; John Milton and freedom of speech; Early American textbook censorship; censorship debates and rhetorical dichotomies; Hollywood regulation, censorship and pedagogy; and inhibiting the teaching of social aspects of language.
Each faculty member will speak briefly about their specific scholarship and then Christine Holbo, associate professor and chair of the department’s events committee, will moderate a group discussion and Q&A.
Featured faculty include:
* Josh Coleman, assistant professor (English education) -- "Challenging Classroom Censorship: Resisting Educational Censorship Policy through Teacher Agency"
* David Hawkes, professor (literature) -- "'I Cannot Praise A Fugitive and Cloistered Virtue:' John Milton's Exposure to Vice"
* Joe Lockard, associate professor (literature) -- "Early American Textbook Censorship"
* Krista Ratcliffe, Foundation Professor (writing, rhetorics and literacies) -- "Book Banning or Protecting Children?: The False Dichotomy Haunting Contemporary Censorship Debates"
* Kevin Sandler, associate professor (film and media studies) -- "Pedagogy and Hollywood Censorship"
* Peter Joseph Torres, assistant professor (linguistics and applied linguistics) -- "Positionality and the Emerging Chilling Effect on Teaching the Social Aspects of Language"
All are welcome.
