I appreciate your respectful concern.
If you TW in class, every student receives it and gets to potentially benefit from it, and you can…
Awesome! Yes, do let me know how the forms go!
I appreciate this very nuanced and historically rooted take.
Virtually no schools require professors use TWs.
TW’s are a perfect example of controlled exposure.

I don’t want to create a world like that, and my students don’t want to live in a world like that.
“life doesn’t have trigger warnings” — why does every anti-TW writer think this is so freaking…
Yes, Michelle Lyons-McFarland (and everyone else!)
