As close to a trigger warning as I'll go: "If you are not disturbed at some point in this class, you have not been paying enough attention."

How would you preface a class if the topic was sexual violence/assault/rape? I think the trigger warning debate depends on the course.

I don't have any problem with being very clear about what's going to be talked about/read/etc. I just don't like assumptions of fragility.

I agree fragility isn't useful. But I'm not sure that being clear grapples w/ subjects that are personal for some students and not others.

I am extremely dubious about the fragility narrative and the (arguable) mis-application of PTSD trope to all manner of topics.

I don't really know what this means. You'd agree that some people are more fragile than others, no? And giving them a heads up isn't wrong.

(I just find it awfully convenient that classes that try to impart a full picture of the human experience are the ones told to beware.)
