This will be an open discussion of ways to handle microaggressions in the classroom. We will start by briefly discussing what microaggressions are. Then we will go over some options for how to respond. The rest of the event will be practice with responding to microaggressions in small groups. We will cover both student-to-student interactions and student-to-instructor interactions. This event is open to grad students and faculty. Younger grad students are especially encouraged to attend! This event will go beyond what was discussed in teaching training, to cover the kind of interactions that hopefully don't happen often, but which may show up as instructors get more experience teaching.

Note: Sensitive topics may be covered, so if you would like a list of scenarios ahead of time or need some other accommodation in order to attend, contact Anna (annabro) or Schinella (dsouzas).
