SIO393: Dr. Alan Smerbeck on Trigger Warnings

Stormy's back! Dr. Smerbeck joins us today to discuss the current research around trigger warnings. Are they a no-brainer or are there downsides? If there are, are we going anti-woke and telling triggered snowflakes they need to be able to handle different ideas? Or is that still dumb? But first we start off with a fantastic update from the Little Library Project that Stormy has been spearheading. Be sure to check out sharebannedbooks.com to donate books for this initiative! A big shout out and thank you to Bookishly for providing READ BANNED BOOKS bookmarks to include in each book. And, if you live in an area where books are at risk or have already been banned, censored, or challenged, please consider signing up to deliver gifted books to a Little Library near you!   Are you an expert in something and want to be on the show? Apply here!
Please please pretty please support the show on patreon! You get ad free episodes, early episodes, and other bonus content!
