Please join us for a panel discussion on Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. Together, our panelists will explore the novel’s popular media representations while engaging the question of why it gets a reaction from book banners. They will also address why images from the book and its television series are relevant to recent social movements and events.

Panelists:

Prof. Rebecca Lubas, Dean of Libraries

Dr. Ece Algan, Communication Studies
