It doesn't always mean that a student is combative or uncooperative, but perhaps they don't listen or communicate in the way we would like, especially in their writing. One example we had was a student using the term "colored" to describe African-Americans. A solution we discussed was to frame this issue in the context of the rhetorical situation. Rather than trying to police their language (because students often respond negatively to that), it is framed as a distraction to the reader.

To decrease colonial level transactions of voice and grade, we should ask students which outcomes they feel most apply to assignments. Doing so ensures you as grader and students as graded are on a more equal footing.]]> 2019-04-09 18:28:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tabithaespina/q3vorgag5yu1/wish/350082241 https://padlet.com/tabithaespina/q3vorgag5yu1/wish/350083178 Micro-aggressions often result from cultural differences.
