With “triggered” as Google’s most searched word of 2016, trigger warnings have become a prevalent yet controversial concept in American higher education and society. As the debate over the value and place of triggering material continues, Trigger Warnings: History, Theory, Context provides the historical context and theoretical analysis of the use of trigger and content warnings in academia. This important edited collection examines the history, theories, and ethics of trigger warnings and presents case studies from instructors and students describing instances when trigger warnings were and were not used. By exploring the issue through several scholarly lenses and providing examples of when trigger warnings may or may not be used effectively, Trigger Warnings provides rigorous analysis of the controversy
All the chapters are worth reading.... The book, as the editor hopes, is indeed fodder for discussion. * New England Archivists Newsletter *
Knox should be commended for compiling such a compelling collection of essays and case studies that really forces the reader to think critically about trigger warnings. * Journal of Intellectual Freedom and Privacy *
A timely and needed interdisciplinary compendium detailing the historical, legal, pedagogical, and practical context of trigger warnings. With arguments and case examples from a variety of vantage points, this edited collection provides a strong foundational basis to understand the promises and pitfalls of trigger warnings. -- Elana Newman, professor of psychology, University of Tulsa, and codirector, Tulsa Institute of Trauma, Adversity, and Injustice, University of Tulsa
Trigger Warnings is a nuanced look at the background and practice of the hot academic intellectual freedom topic of the day. The contributors don't always agree with each other, but they do provide a thoughtful introduction to the concerns, and the classroom reality, of a shift to a more student-centered and consciously inclusive educational style. Strongly recommended for all academic collections. -- James LaRue, director, American Library Association Office for Intellectual Freedom and the Freedom to Read Foundation
