Ban the Book, Banish the Author!

Did Socrates’ or Seneca’s death suppress...or empower the history of philosophy? What effect did Ovid’s banishment have in the Roman Empire... both for art and politics? And what impact  did Aristophanes’s iconoclastic comedy have on those in power? 

While some may view Free Speech and Censorship as modern phenomena, both were essential in shaping Western civilization. Some were canceled and banished or even killed, while others were able to speak freely and flourish... but how can these historic examples of suppression, censorship and free speech help illuminate our current events? 

Join our exciting panel and lineup of prominent professors and authors on September 26th at Noon EST - during Banned Books Week - to discover how this important and timely issue was treated in the past...and what that means today.
