Dear MA Students,

We are inviting you to consider joining the Practical Project Group entitled “Creative Education” (Wednesday 9:00-11:30).  It is run by the Volunteer Centre of the University of Warsaw. We have cooperated with the team already and their experience and professionalism have always been highly appreciated by students and their classes filled to capacity. This year, the Instructors prepared a project which requires the involvement of more people to make it work successfully. Since our MA program is small, we would like to open it up to MA I students. If you want to do a Practical Project in advance during your first year of studies, you are welcome. Please, let Filip Boratyn know as soon as possible.

MA II students who missed their registration or would like to join the group as well, please, contact Filip Boratyn too.
It is a great opportunity. Do not miss it! For confirmation, visit their site: https://wolontariat.uw.edu.pl/ and see all the wonderful thighs they are doing.

Yours,
Małgorzata Gajda-Łaszewska

American Studies Colloquium Series

April 3: Gatekeeping, Paranoid Professionalism, and Redefining Literacy: How US Librarians Fought, Found, and Loved Comic Books

March 20, 2025

We are pleased to invite you to the third lecture of the American Studies Colloquium Series in the 2025 Spring semester! In this talk, we will look at how US librarians fought against comic books as though libraries were the last line of defense in a vital war. We will examine the existential threat that librarians perceived comics to pose in the mid-century and the gradual, nervous thawing of that opposition in the 1970s and 1980s.
