Sensitive material

Undergraduate students in the School of English and in the Humanities and Social Sciences Faculty have raised the issue of sensitive topics covered in teaching. 

Such topics might include the depiction/discussion of rape, suicide, graphic violence and other themes of this kind.

In humanities areas, such as the ones taught in our School (Literature, Language, Film, Linguistics and Creative Writing), the focus often tends to be the human subject and so it is inevitable that distressing life events and situations can and will be encountered in texts and assignments.

All module leaders provide information in advance about the content of modules.

Students with concerns about the content of any module are encouraged to use this information to consider how best they can prepare themselves to study challenging material in a way that is appropriate to them.

Module/seminar leaders, personal tutors and the Student Wellbeing Service can all provide support and guidance with this process.
