June 27, 2011, Greencastle, Ind. — An upcoming week-long workshop on the late Kurt Vonnegut will give Indiana students an opportunity to learn more about "one of our state's greatest
literary voices," says Keira Amstutz, president and chief executive officer of Indiana Humanities and 1991 graduate of DePauw University. She is quoted in an Associated Press article previewing July's "Teaching Teachers to Teach
Vonnegut" workshop, which will be presented by the Kurt Vonnegut
Memorial Library in Indianapolis.
"The program aims to help teachers better
answer their students' questions about Vonnegut and spark more critical
thinking," notes the story. "Teachers will 
learn about Vonnegut
novels such as Slaughterhouse-Five and discuss political problems
with teaching high school students his works, some of which have been
banned for alleged obscenity. The workshop is being paid for using grants from Indiana Humanities and the National Endowment for the Humanities."
