Short Answer
1. What are microaggressions? What impact do they have on people, and why are they tricky to deal with?
Teaching Suggestion: Depending on students’ prior life experiences, they may never have heard the term microaggression. To avoid guessing about their level of familiarity with the term, offer a brief introduction using the resources below. Students whose personal experience does not include being the target of microaggressions or who struggle to deal with the impact of microaggressions in their lives may dispute the entire concept, and they may be uncomfortable with a class discussion on this subject. Consider having students answer these questions in written form or giving clear guidelines about respectful ways to discuss this subject aloud.
