Censoring Histories

Thursday, April 4, 2024

11:00 am - 1:00 pm

In the last few years, American society and state legislatures have been debating how to tell the American story. In response, some states and school districts have begun censoring what stories can and cannot be included in history and social-studies curricula and represented in school libraries, making a statement about what histories the public should consider (in)significant. This censorship process is not limited to the United States, as it is a global phenomenon.

This CPH Lecture Series event brings together scholars from across academic disciplines, the country, and the globe to discuss the impact of censorship on history education. Please join us as experts assess censorship from the ground level and examine its far-reaching impact.
