The subject matter of Fahrenheit 451, the 1953 dystopian novel has led to it being challenged and/or banned at least 10 times since 1992. This talk discusses the age of censorship and some very big issues that society will need to wrestle with.
Presented by Paul Keen, Associate Dean, Professor at Carleton University.
