Microaggressions in Academia with Derald Wing Sue

Derald Wing Sue, Professor of Psychology and Education at Teachers College, Columbia University has dedicated much of his career and writings to the study of microaggressions, which he defined in a major 2007 study as “brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental indignities, whether intentional or unintentional, that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults toward people of color.” A sought-after speaker and trainer on the topic, Sue will address the many forms microaggressions can take in academic environments.
