CORE D.E.I.A. Workshop: “‘But I Didn’t Mean It That Way’: Unpacking the Impact of Microaggressions”
October 23, 2024 at 9:30am – 11:00am EDT
Schine Student Center, 228
While some may believe the road to equity and inclusion is “paved with good intentions,” language that is left unchecked can have a destructive impact. Microaggressions are more than just words; they are subtle acts of exclusion. Not only do we need to identify what they are, we need to unpack why they cause harm, and how they differ from other acts of discrimination. This interactive workshop will allow participants to reflect on their intention vs. impact with language and learn strategies to intervene when they observe microaggressions occur.
The CORE D.E.I.A. Workshops are presented by the Office of Diversity and Inclusion.
