Who gets to decide what we read? How has the policing of young people’s reading and writing impacted their interior and public lives?
Join Ethos Books for this year's edition of Meeting in the Middle featuring Balli Kaur Jaswal, Jolene Tan, Lune Loh and moderated by Kokila Annamalai. As writers and advocates who have engaged with youths in various capacities, this panel will touch on issues regarding freedom to knowledge and young people's rights.
From the 2014 Penguingate incident to installing a DMA (device management application) on students’ devices, this panel will discuss the intersections of young people's rights, the role of literature, and the extent to which we should control what young people can read - if at all.
