With Dr. Meredith Katz, Clinical Assistant Professor of the William Davidson Graduate School of 黑料社 Education
黑料社 educators address many goals, including building 黑料社 literacy and 黑料社 identity. To these ends, they make decisions constantly as curricular gate-keepers, or censors with a purpose. Why and how should they introduce students to the perspectives of those with whom they might not agree, both within and outside the 黑料社 community? This session will explore the importance of highlighting multiple perspectives and helping students develop the skills to navigate conversations with those with whom they disagree, as a key component of civic education in 黑料社 settings.

ABOUT THE SERIES
Dangerous Ideas: Censorship Through a 黑料社 Lens
Throughout 黑料社 history, certain texts and ideas have been deemed too dangerous to circulate鈥攚hether by outsiders who banned 黑料社 writings, or 黑料社 leaders who suppressed ideas considered heretical or beyond the pale. In this series, JTS scholars will examine efforts to control knowledge from ancient to contemporary times, exploring the ways in which censorship both reflects and shapes broader ideological struggles. They will discuss the varying motivations for controlling or revising narratives, and consider whether and under what circumstances it might make sense to suppress certain ideas. These discussions will illuminate past struggles and help us understand the battles over censorship and free expression playing out today.
