Microaggressions are brief comments or behaviors that communicate bias and insult toward certain populations. Microaggressions are rooted in our unconscious (implicit) biases. Implicit biases are rooted in the historical oppression in the United States that has perpetuated stereotypes about different groups of people. Discussions, simulations, and other activities will be used to help participants understand the history of microaggressions and unconscious biases, with emphasis placed on how to overcome our biases.
