Request
-
For course within the school of music material used from September 2022/ in the current academic year:
Could you please provide me with a list of any trigger warnings, content advisories, content warnings, or any other synonymous term for a warning or note, or whatever system is used by the department to this effect, which informs students about potentially offensive or upsetting content within the material they will study on music modules.
Material could include be recordings, extracts from books, books, poems, plays, textbooks, chronicles and other source material, - essentially, what students are tasked with studying
If the scope must be narrowed, I am particularly interested in trigger warnings (or equivalent) issued with regard to racism, colonialism, imperialism, right-wing politics, whiteness
Perhaps with searchable terms: “colonialism” “imperialism” “Racism” “othering” “slurs” “blackness” “black bodies” “Black Lives Matter” “right-wing” “whiteness” “white supremacy”
- Can you also provide information on what teaching staff are told with regard to these issues, that is “what advice are staff given on teaching issues of race (such as those listed above) in this subject?”
Can you provide copies of any documents providing advice along these lines ?
- Can you please provide any detail of what changes have been made to courses/modules in relation to the above issues an sensitives and how they are taught, that is, to answer the question: "What has been done to a) decolonise the music curriculum b) actively address issues of imperialism, colonialism, c) make the course offering more anti-racist d) make the course more inclusive ?"
If 3) would take the rest of the request over the limit, please take 3) more broadly as: can you provide and policy documents/pledges/or course guides which set out the intention and methods of decolonising the history curriculum (and the precise details can be left out).
If 3) would still take this over the limit, please only focus on 1) and 2)
Response
LJMU does not hold this information because LJMU does have a School of Music and does not offer a music course.
