All USC faculty, staff and students are welcome to attend this conversation on microaggressions in the classroom. Microaggressions and exclusion in the classroom have consistently plagued USC students of color. In this session, we seek to define what microaggressions are, what their impact is in the classroom and university community. Additionally, we will discuss strategies for addressing microaggressions, policing them, and creating a safer community for our students.

This event is sponsored by the University Club of USC.
