According to a study from Harvard University Voices of Diversity project, Students of Color still face prejudice and discrimination. Unconscious acts of prejudice and discrimination by teachers and peers manifest themselves as “racial microaggressions.” Racial microaggressions in an academic setting are the slights and insults Students of Color experience in their daily interactions with educators and classmates. This creates an unwelcoming environment and is a deterrent to the scholastic performance of Students of Color.
Program details
Learn valuable techniques to integrate racial microaggressions training into your academic organization.
The purpose of the Racial Microaggressions Awareness Program is to increase the educator’s awareness of the current research that stems from psychological and sociological literature on racial microaggressions, exercise critical consciousness on the material presented, and apply this information in the academic environment. In addition, educators will learn strategies to assist in examining their own cultural biases and assumptions as well as best practices to evoke positive systemic change in their school.
The Racial Microaggressions Awareness Program is an evidence-based, intensive, and dynamic workshop. This interactive learning opportunity explores:
