6th Annual Administrative Professionals (Virtual) Conference: Asking Difficult Questions: Confronting Microaggressions and Bias
April 21, 2021
Invited Speaker: Heather Burton, PhD, Senior Director for Faculty and Institutional Diversity, Case Western Reserve University
The session provided an opportunity for participants to engage in creating inclusive and welcoming environments grounded in individual responsibility. Dialogue assisted participants in recognizing everyday verbal and nonverbal insults that target a person or group of people based on their membership in a marginalized community. Taking personal accountability, participants addressed personal bias and learn to create greater inclusion within their particular role or position of influence to interrupt the use of microaggressions.
Participants learned to:
- Impact change and provide holistic service to marginalized communities by recognizing personal use of microaggressions and bias
- Define the concepts of microaggressions and implicit bias and learn practical application to counter individual bias and avoid using everyday microaggressions
- Demonstrate the difference between microaggression intent and impact and the effect on individual behavior and a systemic inclusive environment
