We explore the meticulous research required to craft these narratives and the role of digitized primary sources. We also discuss the impact of reframing historical fiction as adventure novels, transforming them into captivating portals for young readers to explore different worlds.We also tackle free speech and the freedom to read, examining increasing efforts to ban books featuring diverse characters and themes.

Kristen Stewart's breakout role has both siblings stunned and weeping, and has Carie feeling nostalgic for her teens. Ross is in love with the symbolism of the tree throughout the film, and praises the execution of the adaptation for its visceral realism.  Resources for survivors National Sexual Assault Hotline National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) Tips for Talking with Survivors of Sexual Assault SUPPORT US ON PATREON!

Et lille teater turnerer rundt i danske landsbyer og laver en opsætning af Lykke-Per. Og det er ikke bare for kunstens eller hyggens skyld. Det handler i lige så høj grad om at aktivere landsbyboerne og skabe fællesskaber, så man får en stærkere tilknytning til sin landsby. Den berømte amerikanske forfatter Lauren Groff har åbnet en boghandel i Florida i protest mod de mange bøger, Florida nu har censureret fra biblioteker o.lign. De bøger skal nu på hylderne. Nogle af titlerne er ganske givet skrevet af den amerikanske børne- og ungdomsbogsforfatter Laurie Halse Anderson. Flere af hendes bøger er nemlig censureret - vi har et interview med hende - og så ser vi på, hvad det er amerikanerne går glip af, når de ikke får læst de forbudte bøger. Værter: Karen Secher og Chris Pedersen.

I'm sure you've heard this saying before: “Be careful what you wish for. You might just get it.”There is a different version of this saying, by American writer Laurie Halse Anderson, which I like better: “Be careful what you wish for. There's always a catch.” And I believe that the catch is in the “why”.So, in this episode, I want to share with you two stories that were driven by two different whys and how they led to two completely different marriages.EPISODE BREAKDOWN:[01:44] The fear-driven wish: my first marriage[06:00] Rebuilding my life after my divorce[08:08] Trying out eHarmony because “I had to”[09:44] Enjoying being a single mom[11:27] Reflecting on my failed marriage and what I'd look for in a new one[13:17] The abundance-driven wish: a little nudge and my future husbandOTHER EPISODES YOU MIGHT LIKE:The Page About Freedom, the Tattoo, and Taking Charge of My LifeThe Page About the First Time I Put Myself First, ReallyHow To Actually Let Go Of Control And Take Charge Of Your Life InsteadLife Design 101, Part 1: What Does It Really Mean to Thrive in LifeJOIN BREVERIE CIRCLE:Weekly newsletter for brave, multifaceted women that are ready to embrace who they are, maximize their time and energy, and shine in both career and motherhood (as well as any other life endeavor they choose to pursue) – SIGN UP.CONNECT WITH OLENA:Instagram: @thebreverieEmail: olena@thebreverie.comWebsite: thebreverie.com SUPPORT THE SHOW!Haven't left a review yet?

There is a persistent and damaging sexist trope that books written by women and for women are frivolous, light, and devoid of true meaning. On this episode of Velshi Banned Book Club Podcast we subvert that narrative with two powerful “chick-lit” books that have equally important messages: "Ready or Not" by Meg Cabot and “Speak” by Laurie Halse Anderson. “Ready or Not” focuses on high schoolers grappling with the magnitude of sex and consent. “Speak” poignantly explores the immediate aftermath and emotional repercussions of sexual assault. 

Content warning: This episode contains a very brief discussion of sexual assault from (27:14 - 27:21). Happy 3rd Birthday to Sex. Love. Literature!

Den amerikanska författaren Laurie Halse Anderson beskriver beskedet om att hon fått Almapriset som en chock. "Det samtalet kommer eka i mig för alltid", säger hon och berättar att hon var tyngd av censurdebatten i USA om hennes böcker när hon fick beskedet. Astrid Lindgren har varit en förebild för ungdomsboksförfattaren Laurie Halse Anderson, som rest till Sverige för att ta emot pris till Astrid Lindgrens minne.Kulturredaktionens Lina Kalmteg träffade en lycklig pristagare inför ceremonin i Stockholm för ett samtal om vikten av att våga tala högt om övergrepp, även med barn.Producent: Felicia Frithiof.

En protestaktion blandt teaterfolk, der kræver Moderaternes kulturordfører Jon Stephensens afgang, har indtil videre kastet over 1000 underskrifter af sig, og tallet stiger stadig - selv om Stephensen allerede i aftes blev sendt på selvbetalt orlov fra Folketinget. Kulturen forsøger at finde ud af, hvad der er op og ned på det tilsyneladende forsinkede opråb og taler med en af underskriverne. Om præcis en uge i Stockholm overrækker den svenske kronprinsesse Victoria verdens fornemste børnebogspris, Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award, til den amerikanske forfatter Laurie Halse Anderson. I Kulturen i dag fortæller ALMA-prismodtageren, hvordan et år i Danmark i hendes ungdom ændrede hendes liv - og hvordan hun den dag i dag trækker på de strømninger og tanker, hun mødte dengang. Værter: Karen Secher og Jesper Dein.

Da en 28-årig bevæbnet kvinde mandag gik ind på sin tidligere skole i Nashville, Tennessee og dræbte tre ni-årige børn og tre voksne, var det 89. gang i år, at USA oplevede et skoleskyderi. Og mens sorg, fordømmelser og våbenlovgivningsdebat fylder medierne, sker der noget helt andet i Internettets skumle afkroge: Her dyrkes skoleskyderne som helte. Kulturen taler med ph.d.-stipendiat Jonatan Mizrahi-Werner om de skoleskyder-subkulturer, han har forsket i. Flere end 1600 bøger er blevet fjernet fra amerikanske skolebiblioteker, fordi forældre og skoleledere frygter, at børnene kan tage skade af at læse om emner som seksuel orientering og race. Men en modbevægelse forærer de forbudte bøger væk til folk, der gerne vil læse dem. Kulturen taler med den amerikanske forfatter Laurie Halse Anderson, der netop har vundet den prestigefulde Astrid Lindgren-børnebogspris, og som selv har oplevet at få flere af sine bøger bandlyst. Værter: Karen Secher og Jesper Dein.

This episode was a toughie for our girls Ashley and Kaycee, but worth it for the important discussion on the poignant 1999 novel Speak. This is a reread that they couldn't put down, filled with beautiful symbology and realistic portrayals of trauma. Topics of discussion also include Kaycee's Hot Pop-Punk Boy Island, the best teachers we ever had, and the beauty of bathroom stall wall graffiti. Plus, Ashley goes off on an integrated math tangent. Content Warning: Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson deals with topics of sexual assault, self-harm, and PTSD, all of which are discussed on this episode.

Hun var for syg til at gå på scenen, men hendes teaterdirektør Jon Stephensen pressede hende til at gøre det alligevel og fristede med kontant ekstrabetaling. Og det er bare ét af en række eksempler på grænseoverskridende oplevelser, skuespilleren Coco Hjardemaal har haft i sit teaterliv - uden at klage over episoderne. I dag fortæller hun i Kulturen om en verden, hvor tavshed om pression og overgreb er guld. Laurie Halse Anderson skriver om voldtægt, skam og om at være ude af stand til at tale om det, og hendes bøger er forbudt i flere delstater i hendes hjemland, USA. De barske emner til trods har hun nu vundet verdens fornemste børnebogspris, The Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. Kulturen interviewer som det første medie herhjemme Laurie Halse Anderson - der faktisk taler ...dansk! I går, den 8. marts, var der bobler i glassene og skåltaler i Kolding: Her kan man nu gå en tur med lyd i ørerne og møde en stribe Kolding-kvinder, der skilte sig ud fra mængden men aldrig fik det eftermæle, de kunne fortjene. Vi lytter til smagsprøver sammen med en af initiativtagerne, Dorthe Christiane Zinck Iversen fra græsrodsforeningen Art Pico. Værter: Karen Secher og Jesper Dein.

The woman who saved Thanksgiving! Written by Laurie Halse Anderson

Laurie Halse Anderson's memoir, Shout, is a vulnerable and powerful reflection on our society failing victims, and a love letter to survivors of sexual assault.

In this episode of #VelshiBannedBookClub, Citizen Board Member and MSNBC host Ali Velshi talks to Laurie Halse Anderson about her book: Speak (one of the most banned books in the country). Labeled by its critics as pornographic, Speak explores assault and consent-based sexuality in a young adult setting. "You would think people would find the educational system...the right place to talk about these things," Anderson said.

Ali Velshi is in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and is joined by NBC News' Ali Vitali, Law Professor at the University of California – Irvine Michele Goodwin, Maternal-fetal medicine specialist Dr. David Hackney, Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Wisconsin Attorney General (D) Josh Kaul, Editor of The Maddow Blog Steve Benen, Democratic Candidate for Kansas Attorney General Chris Mann, NYT Bestselling Author of ‘Speak' Laurie Halse Anderson, and Molly Jong

Join Penn and her new cohost Quinn as they review Laurie Halse Anderson's "Speak. While the book is highly relatable, it is also commonly banned in schools. Trigger warning: sexual assault, gun violence, and language. 

Laurie Halse Anderson, Ashley Hope Perez, & V.S. Santoni reflect on current campaign of censorship/book banning & educational gag orders sweeping across the country. These banned authors reflect on the impacts of book banning & discuss how the public endorsement of hate silences, suppresses & erases the voices of marginalized groups & ultimately undermines our public education system.

Notes:Fable and the Verbivore reference a line that has two levels of meaning in the narrative where Xiomara's body is talked about by her mother. That line is “a little too much body for such a young girl.”The Verbivore mentions having watched videos of Elizabeth Acevedo performing her poetry. Here are some of the videos:I use my poetry to confront the violence against women | Elizabeth Acevedo | TEDxMidAtlanticSalon Pages Matam, Elizabeth Acevedo & G. Yamazawa – “Unforgettable” Elizabeth Acevedo - "Afro-Latina"Elizabeth Acevedo - "Hair"Fable and the Verbivore reference several parts from We Hunt the Flame where author Hafsah Faizal breaks out words to give them added force. Here is an example:Nasirfell apartat the seams. The Verbivore mentions a quote from author Laurie Halse Anderson about including hope in YA stories. Here is that quote:“Ending on an encouraging note is part of my moral code. Teenagers need to see a model of hope and growth.”And Laurie Halse Anderson's blurb for The Poet X is - “a story that will slam the power of poetry and love back into your heart.” Books & Movies Mentioned:The Poet X by Elizabeth AcevedoJurassic Park by Michael CrichtonWe Hunt the Flame by Hafsah FaizalMusic from: https://filmmusic.io 'Friendly day' by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) Licence: CC BY (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)

There'll be much mistletoeing, And hearts will be glowing, And podcast hosts will be all-knowing. That's right, America, it's the most wonderful time of the year and editor in chief Neal Pollack's got you covered. The world's best writers on books, film and quality tv have weighed in with their best of 2021 lists.In condensed episode #035 of the Book and Film Globe podcast, Neal starts the conversation with Sharyn Vane, who covered “The Year in Censorship” for the site. Sadly, there was an abundance of source material here, with a slew of books facing the wrath of the closed-minded—up a discouraging 60 percent in just a year.Early in 2021, according to Vane, the estate of Dr. Seuss revealed early this year that “it would no longer publish six of the legendary children's author's early books because they contained ‘hurtful and wrong' content.' By Fall, challenges were mounted against Angie Thomas' The Hate U Give, Laurie Halse Anderson's Speak and Alex Gino's Melissa (formerly George), Ashley Hope Pérez's Out of Darkness, Jonathan Evison's Lawn Boy, Maia Kobabe's Gender Queer, and George M. Johnson's All Boys Aren't Blue.Then BFG pod regular Stephen Garrett joins Neal to discuss a movie that seems to have gone entirely off the rails. Garrett reveals why he awarded The Matrix: Resurrections' a paltry one-star review. He cites not just the unforgivable absence of Laurence Fishburne (Morpheus) Hugo Weaving (nefarious A.I. program Agent Smith) but also the alarming number of predictable cliches: “Among the film's exhausting cinematic callbacks: our heroes will run up the walls while shooting guns, unloading bucketloads of ammo. Most of the villains will have bad aim, and [director Lana] Wachowski will use slo-mo with impunity.”
