Banned Books Unbound!

Last week was Banned Books Week and students in Critical Media Making (COM354) were tasked with designing their own dust jackets for books that have either been challenged or banned. 📕🚫

Students were required to research the arguments used by the entities that challenged the titles and unpack the underlying political and moral justifications that motivated them. The final products showcased the results of their investigation and provide a visual critique of the reasons that motivated each book to be barred from circulation.
