Title: Microaggressions: What are they and how should we respond?
Abstract: Microagressions are the everyday slights, indignities, put downs, and insults that people of color, women, LGBT populations or any group of people who are marginalized experience in their day-to-day interactions with others. They happen casually and often without any harm intended, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t cause harm. In this seminar, we will discuss examples of microaggressions and think about ways that we can respond if and when we hear them directed toward ourselves or other people.
