Description
Summary:This article describes the need for effectively addressing the experience of microaggressions in the classroom. It explores the concept of microaggressions and their impact through the perspective of professors from marginalized populations and outlines a strategy for addressing microaggressions so that the classroom can be a place that fosters education, transformation, and healing. Finally, by intentionally engaging and addressing microaggressions, the pastoral classroom explicitly reclaims the classroom as a space that resists oppression and values of the acts of confession, atonement, and redemption.
