In this episode, Julie celebrates Banned Books Week by speaking to Jonathan Friedman of PEN America about the concerning trends that are worthy of our attention and, more critically, our action. Jonathan is the Director of Free Expression and Education Programs, and in that role he oversees research, advocacy, and education related to academic freedom, educational gag orders, book bans, and general free expression in school, colleges, and universities. He joins Julie to talk about recent cases, the dangerous lean toward a more censorious culture, and PEN’s efforts to unite writers with their allies (they’ve been doing it for one hundred years)!
