MCC LOUNGE
In this discussion, Daniel Solorzano, professor of Social Sciences and Comparative Education at the UCLA Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, will focus on racial microaggressions, those covert or everyday forms of systemic racism used to keep those at the racial margins in their place. In order to comprehend racial microaggressions, we must first understand the different types of racial microaggressions that People of Color experience; the various contexts in which they occur; their effects on People of Color; and how People of Color respond to them.
