Trigger Warning: You May See Bones in Archaeology Class​

Early in his teaching career, Harvard Archaeology Prof. Jason Ur would sometimes bring a human skull to class, a Raiders of the Lost Ark touch to get his students psyched for the work ahead.

The first day of school this fall, students in his introductory-level class will get a trigger warning.

“You will be seeing some human remains that might trouble you,” Ur says he plans to tell the undergraduates. “If that’s the case, this might not be the class for you.”

In an age of heightened personal and cultural sensitivity, teaching archaeology and anthropology isn’t what it used to be. Professors who extract history from human remains now think twice about showing bones to their students.

Some choose trigger warnings. Some use drawings of the dead instead of photos in their slideshows. Some train students on plastic bones instead of real ones.

“We have a large group of biological- and forensic-anthropology students who are all about bones and have no problems at all,” says Anna Marie Prentiss, co-chair of the University of Montana Department of Anthropology. “But what we do have are occasional anthropology students who do require the trigger warning and don’t want to see human bones.”

No.

Apologies for...well...you know.

Some of us don't want to see over developed cartoon male chests but you you don't see me griping.

It actually was once against RF rules
to show a bare male chest...even a
skinny one.

I was going to go there had your reply been different. Among my first posts on RF was one containing a pic of Aden Turner hoeing a field in the programme Poldark.

Bare chest was magnificent but the tv series was better, which was my point (i think). The pic was removed by the nanny bot as i posted.

Aye, twas one of those unwritten rules,
which was eliminated with no notice.

Stupid rule.
Further deponent sayeth naught.

I had to look up deponent, I'm no wiser ;-)

 

[Revoltingest]

The phrase (often with "affiant" replacing "deponent")
often appears at the end of an affidavit, indicating
they'll say nothing more.
I use it to show that speaking further on the
topic would head into rule violation territory.

Only in the US ... (Though I'm no longer sure about that, the crazy seems to be contagious.)

It should be common knowledge that you have to see and probably touch bones in archaeology, biology and acting class.

Blugh. Trigger warnings are known for making things worse. Get rid of them. If you can't handle seeing human bones then studying humans isn't for you.
