Lecture Topic
More than Books by Danny Caine
Join author, poet, and former independent bookstore owner Danny Caine for a timely conversation on book bans, freedom to read, and the broader cultural movements shaping access to literature today. Drawing from his work including How to Defend Books and Why, Danny explores how book bans have become part of a larger authoritarian playbook — and why protecting diverse stories and independent spaces matters more than ever. Thought provoking, accessible, and deeply relevant, this discussion will also highlight the real ways communities can push back and protect the future of reading.
