How do we talk about ancient materials that feature sexual violence with our students? How do we frame ancient stories about rape and consent, while teaching on campuses where many students are likely to have experienced sexual violence themselves? This workshop will invite participants to think through the pedagogical and ethical considerations around teaching materials that include sexual violence. To help us consider how we may guide students through difficult material, we will pair two readings: Donna Zuckerberg’s “How to Teach an Ancient Rape Joke” with Nicole Bedera’s “Beyond Trigger Warnings: A Survivor-Centered Approach to Teaching on Sexual Violence and Avoiding Institutional Betrayal.” Participants will leave this workshop with concrete strategies for managing class discussions around sexual violence and applying best practices of trauma-informed pedagogy to their own classrooms.
