Microaggressions: Why are "They" so Sensitive
from UVA Speaks
‘You are so articulate. Those stripes really make you look thin. Your hair looks so pretty and straight, not kinky like those other kids.’ By and large these statements are meant to be complimentary; however, oftentimes, they are perceived by the recipients to be offensive. Professor Beverly Colwell Adams will discuss these and other microaggressions, or unintentional offenses, and how we can understand cultural, ethnic and gender sensitivities relative to our everyday conversations. Speaker: Beverly Adams Assistant Dean; Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences https://alumni.virginia.edu/learn/program/microaggressions-why-are-they-so-sensitive/
