Canada’s D&I Advocacy Groups: The Micropedia of MicroaggressionsTop 6: January 19th 2022
'That's so gay', 'Let's have a powwow', 'I don't see colour', 'You don't look trans'; these are just some of the entries in a new encyclopedia documenting the different types of microaggressions. Called the Micropedia of Microaggressions the comprehensive online tool is a resource to learn about microaggressions through definitions, information and real-world examples from culture, media, and daily interactions. Microaggressions are everyday subtle put-downs, assumptions, and comments that, regardless of intentions, are hurtful, insulting and damaging. Research has shown that while less obvious than overt forms of discrimination, microaggressions take a significant toll on mental and physical health. The goal of The Micropedia is to bring awareness to this hidden issue by equipping people with an understanding of one of the most common forms of discrimination-microaggressions-and to support training and education on equity, diversity, and inclusion. Created by Zulu Alpha Kilo, the comprehensive tool was developed by a diverse team at the agency on behalf of a community of Canada’s D&I advocacy groups - including The Black Business and Professional Association, The Canadian Congress on Diversity and Workplace Equity, Pride at Work, and Ryerson University's Diversity Institute.
