I am a sophomore at UNC-Asheville working towards a B.S. in Chemistry with a minor in  Neuroscience.  Though it may not seem that I belong in this class, I was raised by a librarian who instilled her passion for books and reading in me since I was a small child. This  class gives me the opportunity to  explore and discuss the reasons and effects of censorship. See my partner in this endeavor, Cara Forbes blog here.
