CORA Discussion July 14, 2021 by Lisa Rodriguez https://padlet.com/drrodriguez5/zdhue2vtoqv9qz6l Let's learn together en-us 2021-07-14 18:49:39 UTC 2026-02-20 22:07:13 UTC hello@padlet.com 1. One "aha" moment: drrodriguez5 https://padlet.com/drrodriguez5/zdhue2vtoqv9qz6l/wish/1649784413 * IAT Test was odd to me

* Catching self thinking - or associating race/gender instead of another human being...so prevalent in our thinking and speaking.

* I realized that there are a lot of microaggressions in my department that impact the work atmosphere.

*  I was aware that statements like "you're so articulate" could be considered microaggressions, but it hadn't fully hit me how much even those "positive" comments could weigh on students until reading the Wood/Harris paper. It has really made me reconsider how I phrase compliments.

* Statistics are startling; #'s began to frighten/fascinate me. School to prison pipeline.
* Research on good ways of responding, or ways different groups address/think about microaggressions. Ex: Struggling with math, send to Math tutoring centers. Would like to be able to say "if you're struggling with...."

*might be interesting to look into micro-invalidations against women (lot of areas in a non-traditional line of employment) and how to address them.

*Maybe tell your students about the Equity Center on Instagram and look at who they follow - those online communities cross-reference each other.]]> 2021-07-14 18:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/drrodriguez5/zdhue2vtoqv9qz6l/wish/1649784785 3. Insights: application of concepts to your work role: drrodriguez5 https://padlet.com/drrodriguez5/zdhue2vtoqv9qz6l/wish/1649784922 * Interrogate/consider choice of graphics (not always White/male in charge as the choice for graphics)

* "Birds of a feather" people hanging together verbally sharing microaggressions on gender/male/female.

*Where/how to begin the conversation on the daily micro-aggressions we hear about our students.

*creating a community for students - maybe point them in the direction of the clubs/orgs (equity center).

* Older generations of the family: times when casual prejudicial/biased thinking arises.

* Verbal attacks in music "real men don't look like you" - how violence can start. Takes courage to stand up to family, elders, boss, co-workers - but if we don't, what's the alternative?
Personal sense of responsibility and satisfaction.

* When you do stand up and say things you are labeled as sensitive. ]]> 2021-07-14 18:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/drrodriguez5/zdhue2vtoqv9qz6l/wish/1649785075 * I realized that some things that I had said in the past to encourage students that were doing well could be received as a micro-aggression - My "aha" moment https://padlet.com/drrodriguez5/zdhue2vtoqv9qz6l/wish/1649800809 Since I still want to encourage students that do well on my exams, but without causing people of color any stress, I will make a more general announcement.  Like "This was a difficult test.  Any one doing better than ____ should be very proud of their accomplishment"]]> 2021-07-14 19:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/drrodriguez5/zdhue2vtoqv9qz6l/wish/1649800809
