    Professor Deborah Appleman’s book made the Pioneer Press Literary Pick of the Week Outside link

    30 January 2023

    Teachers and librarians are contemporary heroes, caught in the crossfire between challenges of books from the political left and the right.

    To teach or not to teach “Of Mice and Men”? If it’s taught, how do teachers do it? What about trigger warnings, in the news recently when a Muslim student complained about seeing a picture of the Prophet in an art history class at Hamline University? Do we handle “cancel culture” by simply making challenged books disappear? And what is all this anger about books doing to our young people’s’ abilities to learn from literature?

    These are the big questions that Deborah Appleman tackles in “Literature and the New Culture Wars”

    Carleton College professor ponders culture wars in the classroom Outside link

    27 January 2023

    Deborah Appleman’s new book is “Literature and the New Culture Wars: Triggers, Cancel Culture and the Teacher’s Dilemma.”

    By Laurie Hertzel Star Tribune

    The timing of Deborah Appleman’s latest book could not be better. The Carleton College professor of educational studies writes about the classroom experience, both that of teachers and that of students. And as we all know, the classroom experience is getting more and more fraught. Her new book, “Literature and the New Culture Wars: Triggers, Cancel Culture and the Teacher’s Dilemma,” poses the question “Can educators continue to teach troubling texts?” Might as well ask, can they continue to show troubling paintings in an art history class? The culture wars are complicated, and questions and resistance come from all directions.

    Appleman has two appearances coming up in the Twin Cities. She will be in conversation with Artika Tyner at 7 p.m. Jan 30 at Magers & Quinn in Minneapolis, and she will speak at 6 p.m. Feb. 7 at Next Chapter Booksellers in St. Paul.
