Due to the COVID-19 restrictions, we’re sharing our behind-the-scenes discussions for our 2021 NICE project.

Content Note:

Written works, especially classics and books set in historical time periods, may contain problematic content. NICE Project books may possess problematic elements of prejudice, intolerance, racism, classism, violence, and abuse. We’ve recorded several episodes that discuss racism and prejudice in general, and how to address problematic elements in classics and period books. Some of the questions we asked ourselves are: what’s really there? How do we view the book today vs when it was written/the setting? What is the value of reading books with problematic elements? For answers to those questions and more, listen to our podcast episodes available here: https://cearts.org/discussions-against-racism/
