Resources on Microaggressions
The University of Nebraska Lincoln Library has a resource page entitled “Diversity and Microaggressions, Strategies for Making a Difference.
Each tab on the resource page contains writings or links to additional resources related to understanding more about microaggressions, and identifying ways to act.
The page contains sheets with examples of everyday microaggressions, links to activities, case studies, and resources for publications. There is even a link to a great piece on the Conditionally Accepted blog on navigating difficult dialogue in the classroom for educators.
Check it out for yourself. You may find some additional resources to add to your social justice toolkit.
