INCLUSION PRACTICUM: MINIMIZING THE

RISKS OF

EXCLUSION

INTERRUPTING MICROAGGRESSIONS: CHEAT SHEET

  • Sit down next to or stand beside the offender when confronting them
  • "Where is that coming from?"
  • Go in pairs
  • "Why do you think..."
  • Give the offender a 'dirty look'
  • Cough
  • "What you said was hurtful to me."
  • "I don't think that's funny."
  • "Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?"
  • Pull the offender aside

REMEMBER...

Saying or doing anything is better than saying or doing nothing!

SHARPENING YOUR ANTENNAE TO INCREASE SELF-AWARENESS AND RECOGNIZE MICROAGGRESSIONS

  • Do your research!
  • It's not the responsibility of the non-dominant group to tell you what to do.
  • Be patient with yourself. This is hard.
  • When you make a mistake, own it, forgive yourself, and move forward.
  • Recognize that dominant-group membership is not something to be guilty or ashamed about. Use your privilege to act as an ally!

DIVERSITY - The unique differences between individuals in a group. (A person who holds a non-dominant identity is not "diverse".)

DOMINANT CULTURE - Process and communication that are so comfortable for groups with power that they don't have to be discussed. It's a system that preserves the current power balance.

PRIVILEGE - Access to resources, by virtue of being a member of a dominant identity. Privilege is unearned, can make dominant culture invisible, and means that engaging with oppression is a choice.

MICROAGGRESSIONS - Subtle, everyday behaviors that unconsciously or unintentionally denigrate a non-dominant identity (individual or group).

-ISM - Institutional power + prejudice = -isms. In practice, -isms maintain systems of oppression.

ALLYSHIP - When individuals who hold privilege interrupt instances of oppression by supporting and advocating for a non-dominant group. Does not exist without action.
