Microaggressions are deceptively complex and addressing them is never as simple as we want it to be in the moment. Using insights from the most current research and the contexts that interest you, we will explore various actions and their potential outcomes. Bring your stories, and as always, your curiosity, to this interactive and research-based opportunity to further our understanding of microaggressions and our capacity to reconcile them when they do happen.
This workshop explores the connection between the good-bad binary we have been socialized with and the structures that maintain social oppression, not only in the world around us but also within us. How might our self-perception of ourselves as “good” people actually get in the way of actualizing our best intentions? How does the good-bad binary engender fragility? Join your peers for a lively dive into some complex ideas, with ample room for discussion and reflection.
