Content Notes in Teaching
Content notes in university teaching provide information about sensitive, disturbing or unsettling content in teaching material and can help to prepare students with traumata and psychological conditions for this potentially distressing content. Being confronted with accounts of sexualized or racial discrimination and violence can cause strong emotional reactions, panic attacks or temporary dissociation in persons who have been personally exposed to such situations. Content notes can enable students to make an informed and conscious decision as to how best to prepare themselves for such content.
