Resisting Censorship On Campus | Season 7 | Voicing Resistance

In this episode of Listen Up Youth Radio, we will look into the complex world of censorship with Dr. Sima Shakhsari, a professor at the University of Minnesota and a longtime advocate for marginalized communities. From student protests against war-related investments to the censorship of voices speaking out against injustice, we explore how censorship works in media, academia, and activism. We also talk about how narratives around refugees, gender, and civil society are shaped or silenced through state and digital control. Join us as we unpack the personal and political stakes of speaking out in a censored world.

This episode is the second in our 7th season, "Voicing Resistance," completed in residency at the University of Minnesota's Liberal Arts Engagement Hub.

YouthSoup is a youth produced podcast from Listen Up Youth Radio. Each episode is told from your everyday youth who discuss real-life social issues that teens and young adults face in our daily lives. As media storytellers, it is our intention to add some youth to your soup, some flavor to your day, and to acknowledge and raise awareness of these topics to let you know you are not alone. “This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.”
