Safe Space and Trigger Warnings: A Panel Discussion

Friday, October 21, 2016 - 2:00 pm

Panelists Katelyn Browne, library; Ken McCormick, economics; Catherine MacGillivray, Womens’ and Gender Studies; and Xavia Publius, Women’s and Gender Studies, will discuss the ideas of safe space and trigger warnings, and their relationship with academic freedom. Since the University of Chicago sent a letter to all of its first year students dismissing safe space and trigger warnings in order to promote academic freedom, numerous academics have responded, some with praise and some with criticism.
