DEI Learning Series Engagement Session

Unpacking Microaggressions

Join us for our second DEI learning series next month. Visit the College of Education website for resources you can read, watch, and listen to, as well as the reflection questions that will guide our conversation.

"Microaggression" is a term that was coined by Chester Pierce, a Harvard psychiatrist, to describe the subtle racial putdowns that degrade physical health over a lifetime. More recently, Derald Wing Sue, a Columbia University professor, described microaggressions as “brief and commonplace verbal, behavioral or environmental indignities—intentional or unintentional—which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative slights and insults to people from marginalized groups.” The readings, videos, and podcasts provide opportunities to explore what microaggressions are, how they are experienced, and what can be done to counteract them.
