> Dr. Jenna Spiering is Associate Professor and Coordinator of the school
> library concentration at the University of South Carolina's School of
> Information, where she teaches within the school librarian preparation
> program and engages in research related to youth materials and issues of
> censorship and selection. In this talk, she will discuss her recent work on
> several projects related to challenges to LGBTQIA+ titles as well as the
> impact of state regulations on the role of school librarians in collection
> development. Each project has been developed to gain a better understanding
> of the shifting landscape of school librarianship among the unprecedented
> wave of book challenges, district, state, federal mandates and legislation,
> and heightened scrutiny. With this increased scrutiny it's more important
> than ever for school librarians to be equipped with research that explores
> the complex layers of the effort to ban and censor materials in K-12
> schools, illuminating the threats and highlighting the opportunities for
> resistance and advocacy within the profession.
