Description:

Microaggression is a term used for brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative prejudicial slights and insults toward any group. This training focuses on the historical context that makes certain phrases offensive in an effort to help participants understand the unique perspective of marginalized groups . In this session, Tiffany Alvoid will discuss how this behavior manifests itself , the role you play and strategies you can implement to avoid microaggressions in your life .
