Join us as we explore how YA lit is beginning to reflect America as it actually exists. How do authors write about characters traditionally ignored in publishing's depiction of America? How do authors explore multiple identities effectively? Do characters' identities need to match their author's lived experiences? Join us for a discussion of intersectionality in YA.
