Microaggressions in the Classroom
Think about a time when someone said something about your identity that made you feel insulted or slighted. Even if they didn’t intend it you probably experienced a microaggression. Learn how to respond to microaggressions in your classroom with this video from the University of North Texas. In the accompanying classroom activity, participants reflect on their experiences with microaggressions. Additional support materials are available including a background essay and vocabulary. These videos are excerpted from the full Microaggressions in the Classroom video with the generous permission of producer Dr. Yolanda Flores Niemann.
