MICROAGGRESSIONS WEBINAR
Microaggressions are everyday verbal and nonverbal slights, snubs, or insults, which can either be intentional or unintentional. These actions communicate negative or hostile messages that are based solely on the recipient’s perceived marginalized group membership. In this session, we’ll cover what microaggressions are, how they manifest, and how we can respond to them.

INTERSECTIONALITY WEBINAR 
A framework coined by law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, the term intersectionality highlights the overlap in identities (race, class, gender, etc.) in order to better understand the complexities of discrimination. In this session, we will dive into what intersectionality means, while examining its relationship to current systems of oppression. We will also start to explore the impact of power, privilege, and marginalization in everyday life.
