Filmmaker and writer Aishah Shahidah Simmons, who teaches in the women’s and LGBT studies program at Temple University, poses for a photograph Friday, April 25, 2014, in Philadelphia. Students on college campuses across the country are increasingly asking their professors to provide "trigger warnings" for classes that cover content that might be upsetting to individuals who have been sexually assaulted, touched by suicide, survived war or experienced other traumatic situations.
