Who Is It Really For? Trigger Warnings and the Maintenance of the Racial Status Quo

Mara Lee Grayson

Abstract

This essay examines the discourse around the trigger warning through the analytic paradigm of racial literacy and the rhetorical frames of colorblind racism to illuminate how the trigger warning as currently conceptualized, even when framed as a means of equitable engagement, is mediated by and upholds the racial status quo.
