COPE: Microaggressions and microinterventions - The macro of the micro

Believe it or not, we’ve all committed a microaggression – most of the time unintentionally. Microaggressions are problematic and perpetuate stereotypes. They are subtle insults. They can be verbal, non-verbal, or visual, directed towards individuals often automatically or unconsciously. Though they start with the term micro, microaggressions can have macro impacts on mental health, physical health and beyond.

CCDI’s spring Community of Practice sessions will focus on exploring microaggressions and microintervention strategies on interpersonal and systemic levels.

At this event, we will:

• define and present common example of microaggressions and examine how they show up in the workplace.
• discuss the ‘macro’ impacts of microaggressions and how we can apply a systems lens to understand the macro.
• explore how to respond to microaggressions from various points-of-view, whether you’re the recipient, an ally, a bystander, a manager, or the perpetrator.

Who should attend?

• This session is open to anyone who wishes to learn about microaggressions in the workplace, forms of microaggressions, and how to address them from different perspectives.
