Some students opted to conduct academic research on trauma. Find their project questions and a short description below!
“DO TRIGGER WARNINGS REALLY HELP STUDENTS AVOID THE HARM OF TRAUMA IN THEIR EDUCATION?” BY BETHANY CLEMENTS
Clements examined research about trigger warnings at universities with a particular focus on race and trauma. She conducted literature reviews of debates about the use of trigger warnings since 2013 ("the year of the trigger warning") and explored current approaches to engaging with both the problem and potentials of trigger warnings.
“SOMATIC EXPERIENCING AT UNIVERSITIES” BY HAILEY ROW
Row's research focuses on the use of Somatic Experiencing at the university. Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-based approach to healing from trauma. Row's work reviewed existing research about SE in a pedagogical context and suggested ways in which SE techniques can be incorporated in the university classroom to aid learning.
