Have you ever felt labeled or snubbed by words or actions from others? Words can and do have profound effects on all of us. Microaggressions are subtle, verbal and nonverbal slights, and insults based on gender, ethnic, and other stereotypes. Microaggressive behaviors can impact any population marginalized because of race, gender, ethnicity, disability status, social or economic class, age, sexual orientation, or religion. People who are the target of microaggressive behaviors typically experience internal dilemmas because they may not be sure of the intent behind the comment. Join us for this interactive discussion and webinar addressing strategies to help you identify microaggressions and actions to take to stop them.
This webinar is part of the ongoing series of activities on Disability, Diversity, and Intersectionality. To learn more about the Disability, Diversity, and Intersectionality in CILs project, check out ILRU’s website at www.CIL-diversity.org.
