Microaggressions: What are They and How are They Harmful?
When we engage in conversations across cultures, there is always the risk that what we say might offend someone.  Oftentimes we don't know why what we said was offensive.  But rather than risking offense, many people avoid cross cultural dialogue altogether or cling to "politically correct" terminology.

Microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory or negative racial slights and insults toward any marginalized group.

Learning about microaggressions and how they are hurtful, can help open up the dialogue when we offend, are offended or witness an offense.  One subtle, unintentional comment in and of itself has little effect.  It's the accumulative effect over a life time that has the impact of a thousand cuts.  In this presentation, Dr. Hollins will teach participants who they are and offer strategies for how to engage in courageous conversations when they are committed.
