MRU students and faculty weigh in on Freedom To Read Week and the privilege and price that comes with creating and consuming material in an open environment. What are the parameters of offensive material and how can we manage expectations and reduce harm while maintaining a commitment to intellectual freedom?

Freedom to Read Week
A week-long national event that encourages Canadians to reflect on issues relating to censorship and to celebrate our ongoing commitment to intellectual freedom.  MRU will celebrate Freedom to Read Week 2019 with lively pop-up theatre, an engaging panel, live readings with an immersive twist, and displays throughout the Library and on main campus highlighting popular titles that have been challenged or even banned.
