About
Participants will review a documentary film about people in the Pacific Northwest regarding gender and gender identity microaggressions. Participants will learn how to avoid and intervene to prevent microaggressions and create a positive learning environment for students and workplace environment for all. Participants will learn the history and the context of these microaggressions within our culture, and how they are most used in an educational setting and in common vernacular. Participants will learn that microaggressions embody the very definition of diversity in that it is the presence of similarities and differences within a given setting, collective, or group based on multiple factors including race and ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability status, age, educational status, religion, geography, primary language, culture, and other characteristics and experiences. These can lead to eliminating barriers in equity that prevent the full participation of individuals and groups, thus adding inclusion with intentionality and actions with respect, belonging and safety.
