Understanding and addressing micro-aggressions and stereotypes as a GA/TA
In this second workshop, participants will explore the concept of microaggressions and stereotypes. The session is aimed at providing an understanding of how subtle, often unintentional, remarks or behaviors can impact students' sense of belonging and self-esteem. Through engaging activities and reflective discussions, participants will learn to identify and productively address microaggressions and stereotypes, develop strategies for fostering a supportive and inclusive classroom culture, and promote open dialogue. By the end of the session, participants will be equipped with practical strategies to recognize, address, and prevent microaggressions and stereotypes in their teaching.
