The discussion over whether to put “trigger warnings” on syllabi or reading assignments to warn students of potentially traumatic course materials has generated considerable controversy—and no small amount of media ridicule. At the same time, instructors who teach deeply disturbing themes, often involving violence or cruelty, are aware that they are responsible for creating a learning environment that is both challenging and accessible to everyone, and they must therefore prepare students for difficult discussions so that learning can take place.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Place, Nations, Generations, Beings: 200 Years of Indigenous North American Art, this session pairs museum professionals with Yale staff to practice teaching with the art and artifacts of Indigenous North American peoples. Generously cosponsored by the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, the Yale Peabody Museum of Natural History, the Yale Center for British Art, the Yale-Smithsonian Partnership, and the Yale University Art Gallery, with support from the Martin A. Ryerson Lectureship Fund. Space is limited.
Presented in conjunction with the exhibition Place, Nations, Generations, Beings: 200 Years of Indigenous North American Art, this panel brings together a group of museum professionals to discuss approaches to teaching with Indigenous American art and artifacts in museums.
