The Maus Project: Exploring Censorship and the Power of Literature

Posted by Rebekah Pratt-Sturges on January 17, 2023

Near the end of the fall semester, students in the public humanities course HUM 382 The Maus Project presented their group research projects exploring themes from the class during the poster session and reception on Nov. 29 in Cline Library.  The department of Comparative Cultural Studies offered HUM 382 The Maus Project course after organizing a roundtable featuring faculty from across campus to examine the censorship of Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel Maus in spring 2022. The class enrolled over 50 students and included guest speakers from multiple departments, including CCS professors Dr. Gioia Woods, Dr. Bjorn Krondorfer, and Dr. Becky Pratt-Sturges. Each week, students and faculty discussed Spiegelman’s work through the context of a particular topic. In December 2022, course leader Dr. Woods reflected on the Maus Project for Humanities for All, a showcase of over 2000 examples of publicly engaged humanities work at colleges and universities in the U.S. Learn more about the class, student projects, and why literature matters in her essay ‘The Maus Project: Exploring Censorship and the Power of Literature” here.
