Microaggressions in the classroom, Nov. 12, 10 a.m. in UMC 415

Recent climate surveys at CU-Boulder have found a significant percentage of students (particularly those from under-represented groups) do not feel welcome or respected on campus. How can instructors deal with micro-aggressions such as sexism, racism, homophobia and other forms of discrimination that emerge in the classroom environment? This interactive workshop will provide scenarios for discussion, feedback and brainstorming on how to handle these difficult issues. Presented by Tracy Ferrell, Andrea Feldman, Jim Walker.
