Who We Are
The Microaggressions Working Group seeks to empower and protect ASEs against microaggressions and implicit bias on campus. In particular, our work is framed by the understanding that because microaggressions and implicit bias both manifest and perpetuate institutionalized oppressions, they cannot be effectively addressed without an institutional approach.

If you feel you have been the target of microaggressive behavior, implicit bias, or a hostile workplace, please contact us at microaggressionswg@uaw4121.org. We are also in the process of developing an online reporting system for ASEs who experience or witness microaggressions and implicit bias. In the meantime, however, we encourage you to use this tracking worksheet to keep a log.
