DOWNLOAD THE LIST OF PRIVILEGED AND MARGINALIZED GROUPS
Microaggressions refer to any language or behaviour that causes unintended offense to a member of a marginalized group. During this session a list of more than 20 categories that can make a person a member of a marginalized or privileged group will be presented for the purpose of clarifying the various ways we all can work to be more intentional in our interactions. The nature of a microaggression is that it is causing offense without intending to, so the focus will not be on bullying, but on understanding the difference between intent vs impact.
