UC-Davis Hosting Workshop on How Microaggressions ‘Perpetuate Stereotypes’
“identify strategies for addressing and reducing the impact of microaggressions”
It’s amazing that schools are still doing this. They’re just ignoring reality.

UC Davis to host workshop on how microaggressions ‘perpetuate stereotypes’ as part of requirements to obtain a career skills certificate
The University of California, Davis is set to host a workshop for graduate and postdoctoral students on microaggressions that will help them earn a certificate in career skills.
On a UC Davis website for the university’s Global Learning Hub, the university advertises the workshop saying that it will teach participants how to “define microaggression and understand how they perpetuate stereotypes and discrimination.”
The workshop is also set to have participants “identify strategies for addressing and reducing the impact of microaggressions.”
The workshop is part of a series that students can attend to complete the university’s “Global Grad & Postdoc Career Skills Series and Certificate.”
On a separate site about the certificate, the university states that individuals who wish to earn the certificate “will engage in workshops that develop communication and leadership skills for success in intercultural work environments.”
The certificate’s series offers two “Tracks” for graduate, professional, and postdoctoral students.
The first focuses on “Communication and Inclusivity in the Workplace,” and the second focuses on “Teaching and Learning in Intercultural Settings.”
As part of the description for the first track on “Communication and Inclusivity in the Workplace,” UC Davis states that it focuses on “global diversity, equity, and inclusion with an emphasis on how fluency and skill development in these areas prepare participants for their careers.”
The stated goal of that track is to make participants “engage confidently to create inclusive and collaborative workplaces.”
The second track, on “Teaching and Learning in Intercultural Settings,” has participants understand “how cultural norms impact learning environments, particularly classrooms, laboratories and other collaborative spaces.”

Comments
I don’t believe microaggressions are real. They are just yet another mechanism ti cry victim and attempt to control the conversation,
microagression defined:
wht people existing
The way to defeat this is for people over whom the Karen admins have no power (contractors, consultants, parents, visitors, even “laborers of color”) to deliberately commit as many microaggressions as possible, then belittle the bossies who try to “re-educate” them.
