[Online Event] Addressing Microaggressions in Community Webinar :: Wednesday 
March 8th :: 1-2 PM CENTRAL
Course Instructor: Crystal Byrd Farmer

A microaggression is a subtle but offensive comment or action that causes a 
marginalized person to feel like the “Other”. These small acts can have a big 
impact, causing harm and contributing to a culture where marginalized people 
feel unwelcome. In Addressing Microaggressions in your Community, you will gain 
a greater understanding of microaggressions and how you can create a more 
inclusive community.

During this session, you will be provided with the tools you need to recognize 
and respond to microaggressions in your everyday life. You’ll learn about 
microaggressions related to race, gender, sexuality, disability, and other 
aspects of diversity. You’ll also learn practical strategies for addressing 
microaggressions through calling in or calling out, and gain an appreciation 
for the nuances of speaking up for marginalized people whether they are in the 
room or not. 

Join us for this 1-hour webinar to gain a greater understanding of 
microaggressions and how you can create a more inclusive community as well as 
get a taste for our upcoming 5-week course: Understanding Diversity in your 
Community - https://www.ic.org/understanding-diversity-in-community which
