Microaggressions in the Workplace

Let’s face it. You’ve probably had some stuff said to you at work that made you feel crappy. But did the person who said it know how crappy it actually was? Microaggressions are small, often seemingly harmless comments that can make people in any kind of underrepresented community feel out of place or talked down to. Maybe you’ve observed this behavior from other coworkers, but haven’t known how to go about correcting them? This session is for folks of all genders, races, sexual orientations, and ages who want to be a little more conscious about the way they treat one another. You’ll leave with plenty of examples of how to recognize microaggressions and how to deal, whether you’re the recipient, the supplier, or the passer-by.
