Overview
- Media reports on Monday said psychology lectures at the University of Roehampton began with slides warning about topics including 'chocolate addiction', smoking, sexual organs, anger, and parent-child relationships.
- Second-year student Octavia Evans called the practice a farce and said warnings even flagged that a seminar might include views she disagreed with.
- The university said it seeks an inclusive learning environment and gives students advance information about course content as a matter of good practice.
- Coverage noted that a section of the university website describing its inclusivity aims has since been removed.
- The episode sits within a wider UK trend of content warnings, with recent examples at Glasgow for Harry Potter, Sheffield for Bible passages, Nottingham for Chaucer, and Reading for graphic medical imagery.
