Short Description of the Workshop:

Microaggressions are brief and everyday slights, insults, indignities, and denigrating messages sent to people of color and/or marginalized groups (women, LGBTQ+, etc.) by well-intentioned [people] who are unaware of the hidden messages being communicated (Sue et al., 2007). Microaggressions are connected to broader conceptualizations of the impact of implicit bias, racism, and systems of inequity. Specifically, in higher education, microaggressions impact the physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of those who are victims of them. Growing research posits the need for more open discussions in education about racism, sexism, and other bias prevalent in the field of education. This workshop builds participants' awareness about microaggressions and provides an actionable framework for addressing microaggressions.
