Temple University: Temple researchers examine patterns of inequality in banned books

Temple University: Temple researchers examine patterns of inequality in banned books. “Since July 2021, more than 1,500 books of contemporary literature have been banned in the United States. Now a team of Temple researchers is looking for patterns across these books to understand what may be causing them to be targeted. The team is made up of Temple faculty, library staff, and undergraduate and graduate English students who are using text mining to understand patterns of representation in these books.”
