A resurgence of scholarly and popular attention to the concept of microaggressions has prompted new research as well as its applications, such as training and workshops on microaggressions across college campuses and other organizational and community settings. However, definitions, understandings, and measurement of this concept vary due to its inherent complexity involving interactions of contexts and individuals. This panel discussion will engage the growing body of literature on microaggressions.

Presenters are recipients of NCID’s Pop-up Grant on microaggressions and are members of the Diversity Scholars Network. These scholars take up the concept of microaggressions using various theoretical and methodological approaches. They will compare and contrast new findings to extant literatures, illuminate critical questions, and advance new theoretical/conceptual frameworks.

Presenters: Ahlam Lee (Assistant Professor of Leadership Studies at Xavier University), Cassaundra Rodriguez (Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas), and Rosalie Rolón-Dow (Associate Professor of Education at the University of Delaware)
