The Freedom to Read Foundation (FTRF), is excited to announce a scholarship
for the Spring 2022 course, Intellectual Freedom and Young Adults, offered
through San Jose State University School of Information (SJSU iSchool).
INFO 267-10 Intellectual Freedom YA, led by instructor Beth Wrenn-Estes,
runs from January 26 - May 16, 2022. The course will focus on intellectual
freedom issues with youth, the value of youth literature to enhance
individuals’ lives, the ethics of intellectual freedom, the psychology of
censorship and how to combat it, and how to defend materials for youth.
Before Wrenn-Estes started teaching for SJSU full-time she was a youth
services librarian. She is passionate about libraries and especially
serving youth. Wrenn-Estes received the iSchool Outstanding Teacher Award
in 2012 and The Most Distinguished (Faculty) Service award in 2014.
The scholarship covers half the cost of the course and is open to any
student enrolled in a LIS degree program. As part of a collaboration
between FTRF and SJSU, staff and volunteers will lend their expertise as
guest speakers, and the FTRF and ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom
archival materials will be made available to students.
Applications for the scholarships are due November 19 and recipients will
be announced by December first. For more information and to apply for the
scholarship visit www.ftrf.org/?Krug_Education.
Students enrolled in programs affiliated with the WISE consortium will be
provided course credit automatically upon completion of the course. Others
will need to coordinate course credit with their home institution.
