Microaggressions: Messages that Hurt
- Kurt Earnest (Iowa State University)
Abstract
Microaggressions are the everyday verbal, nonverbal, and environmental messages, whether intentional or unintentional, which communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative sentiments that target persons based on identity(ies). Through multimedia, role play, and group discussion, participants will explore this term and experience firsthand the impact of microaggressions on students and staff at Iowa State University. Through this discussion participants will enhance their understanding of how marginalized and underrepresented students and staff routinely experience the ISU campus and broader community.
