How do we make the unseen visible when history and marginalized experiences are contested or erased? Amid book bans, curriculum censorship, and political efforts to rewrite the past, storytelling becomes a powerful battleground for truth and resistance. This seminar explores how young adult literature--such as novels addressing police violence, immigration, or dystopian futures--can expose injustice, challenge oppression, and preserve memory. By connecting historical resistance movements to present-day debates over censorship and curriculum, students will analyze how narratives shape public consciousness, reckon with systemic inequality, and inspire social change.
