Cancel Culture and the Index of Forbidden Books: This Wednesday, Nov. 11

November 6, 2020

The Garaventa Center welcomes everyone to an online Beckman Humor Project event on Wednesday, November 11, at 5 p.m.: “What We Can Learn About ‘Cancel Culture’ from the Index of Forbidden Books (Really!).” Here’s the Zoom Webinar link to join the live event, which is free and open to all.

The Index of Forbidden Books may seem like a relic of pre-Vatican-II Catholicism that we were wise to leave behind. Una Cadegan, University of Dayton professor of history, will take a closer look at its history, and at the habits of mind it reflected, to shed light on the thought and art (and the thinkers and artists) of our own day.

Cadegan’s talk is part of the Beckman Humor Project. For more information, visit up.edu/beckmanhumor/events or email garaventa@up.edu.
