Equity, Diversity & Inclusion: I didn’t know what to say: Addressing microaggressions in your teaching practice – April 28, 2021

Microaggressions are everyday verbal, nonverbal and environmental slights, snubs or insults, whether intentional or unintentional which communicate hostile, derogatory or negative messages to target persons based solely upon their historically excluded group membership.

By participating in this workshop, participants will

• elevate awareness surrounding racism, discrimination, and microaggressions (RDM) occurring in our own educational, clinical and professional spaces,
  

• share concepts associated with RDM so that we can speak a common language. Label these instances; minimize becoming the perpetrators, and
  

• practice communication tools and share ways to respond.

Facilitators:  Jackie Gruber & Kathleen Legris
