So to Speak podcast: Trigger warnings and DEI statements


A consensus has emerged from a growing pile of scholarly research: Trigger warnings don’t work.
On today’s episode of So to Speak: The Free Speech Podcast, we are joined by Carleton College associate professors and to explore what the latest research says about the efficacy of trigger warnings. We also discuss one of the more contentious debates surrounding academic freedom: the rising prevalence of so-called diversity, equity, and inclusion statements for college faculty job applications and evaluations.
