“A small act or remark that makes someone feel insulted or treated badly because of their race, sex, etc., even though the insult, etc. may not have been intended, and that can combine with other similar acts or remarks over time to cause emotional harm.”
Cambridge Dictionary
Micro-aggressions are an example of subtle, indirect discrimination against a marginalised group. They are small acts of prejudice which expose the speaker’s biases and can have negative repercussions on the lives of the recipients.
Micro-aggressions may not feel significant at the time. They are commonplace interactions that can’t always be readily identified as prejudice. This ambiguity puts the person who is on the receiving end of micro-aggressions in a tricky position as speaking out may be perceived as 'overreacting'. Feelings of powerlessness can result which can be compounded in the workplace where speaking out may hurt one's reputation.
During this 2-hour, live, virtual course, delegates learn about the impact of micro-aggressions on our interactions with others and increase their awareness to manage and reduce them in the workplace.
