What are Microaggressions?

Posted on by sharece

At our training yesterday, Douglas and Ritu initiated a conversation about microaggressions. To follow up, I’d like to share a few resources Douglas wanted to pass on! First, here’s the [embeddoc url=”https://blogs.uoregon.edu/intlpmp/files/2018/09/Microaggression-Chart-1pxk36c.pdf” download=”all” viewer=”google” ] to understand a bit about what they’re about. In addition, here’s a video from Stanford about Microaggressions.

Thanks, all! Keep up the hard work this week!

Best,
