Today I'm visiting with Karen Jensen at Teen Librarian Toolbox, talking about
the politics of freedom and sexual violence in Plus One.
Karen has recently founded a new initiative in the online literary world called
#SVYALIT (Sexual Violence and Young Adult Literature), with the help of
Carrie Mesrobian (
Sex & Violence) and
Christa Desir (
Fault Line). In short, Karen encourages parents, teachers, librarians, and teens themselves to use young-adult literature to talk about sexual violence and consent.
How are civil liberties, sexual violence, and healthy, consensual sex related in my book? Read about it
here.
