Education:Courses
We discuss Gabor Maté's article "Embraced by the needle" which is an assigned reading for my courses this term. Maté discusses the emotional factors in cases of addiction to hard drugs. The topic needs a trigger warning, we decided - the article touches on sensitive topics relating to family trauma and violence. Sasha is a former student of mine who read this article in her first semester. She was in my ENG106 class; however, this article is read in all my COM courses as well. We discuss: what is it like to read something that is not in your subject area? what it's like to read something "extreme" - do we need a trigger warning for this reading? What are the relevant points in the reading - what makes sense? And how can we disagree with it? What is disagreeing like, when, often, we're encouraged to agree all the time with our elders and our profs?
