    INTRODUCTION “Cultural Competence in the Digital Age: Trending #Apps, #Games, #Socialmedia” Welcome to the 33rd Annual Winter Roundtable on Cultural Psychology and Education, sponsored by the Dean’s Office and the Counseling Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University. The Winter Roundtable is the longest running continuing professional education program in the United States devoted solely to cultural issues in psychology and education. The theme of the 2016 Roundtable conference is “Cultural Competence in the Digital Age: Trending #Apps, #Games, #Socialmedia.” We are very pleased to welcome future leaders and professionals, and will feature research and interventions regarding multicultural concerns in community, school, and family settings, as well as individual development, across a wide range of topics, including language, literacy, access, wellness, cultural values, training, and experiences with oppression and discrimination. This year's conference is a two-day program consisting of paper and symposium presentations, workshops, student poster presentations, and roundtable discussions conducted by invited and selected experts in the fields of multicultural psychology, education, and related disciplines. The Winter Roundtable continues its tradition of bringing together scholars, practitioners, educators, researchers, advocates of social change, and students who value the complex influences of race, ethnicity, social class, gender, sexual orientation, and religious affiliation in psychology and education. Several years ago, the Roundtable instituted the Social Justice Action Award, which celebrates the contributions of individuals who have exemplified social change through their principles and practice. The inaugural recipient of the Social Justice Action Award was bell hooks, followed by Jane Elliott in 2005, Linda James Myers in 2006, Ronald Takaki in 2007, Michelle Fine in 2008, William Cross in 2009, Concepción Saucedo Martinez in 2010, Bertha G.

  • Did You Really Just Say That?
    4/30/2019 Did you really just say that? FEATURE Did you really just say that? Here's advice on how to confront microaggressions, whether you're a target, bystander or perpetrator By Rebecca A. Clay January 2017, Vol 48, No. 1 Print version: page 46 "Can I touch your hair?" "That's so gay." "You'd be pretty if you lost some weight." Microaggressions—the brief statements or behaviors that, intentionally or not, communicate a negative message about a non-dominant group—are everyday occurrences for many people. In a study published in Educational Researcher (http://edr.sagepub.com/content/44/3/151.abstract) in 2015, for example, psychologist Carola Suárez-Orozco, PhD, of the University of California, Los Angeles, observed microaggressions in almost a third of the 60 community college classrooms she and her team studied, most committed by instructors. "No one is immune from inheriting racial, gender and sexual orientation biases," says Derald Wing Sue, PhD, a professor of psychology and education at Teachers College of Columbia University, who studies multicultural counseling and racism. "Everyone, including marginalized group members, harbors biases and prejudices and can act in discriminatory and hurtful ways toward others." The fact that microaggressions are often subtle can make them harder to shake off than more overt forms of discrimination, says psychologist Dorainne J. Levy, PhD, a postdoctoral fellow at Indiana University's Center for Research on Race and Ethnicity in Society. "There's uncertainty about whether or not your experience was due to your race, for example, or due to something unrelated, such as the other person being in a bad mood or having a bad day," says Levy, a visiting assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences.

  • A Guide to Responding to Microaggressions
    CUNY FORUM 2:1 (2014) 71-76 A Guide to Responding to Microaggressions Kevin L. Nadal “Microaggressions are commonplace verbal, behavioral, or environmental actions that communicate hostility toward oppressed or targeted groups.” IN RECENT YEARS, ACADEMIC LITERATURE has focused increasingly on the subject of microaggressions. Microaggressions are brief and commonplace daily verbal, behavioral, or environmental actions (whether intentional or unintentional) that communicate hostile, derogatory, or negative racial slights and insults toward members of oppressed or targeted groups1 including: people of color, women, Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) persons, persons with disabilities, and religious minorities.2 Some scholars today argue that racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of discrimination are no longer as blatant as they may have been in the past. Instead, people may demonstrate their biases and prejudices in more subtle ways, otherwise known as microaggressions.3 The purpose of this article is twofold: (1) to discuss how different types of microaggressions affect people’s lives, and (2) to provide a hands-on guide to strategies, approaches, and interventions to address microaggressions. Types of Microaggressions Derald Wing Sue and colleagues first described three forms of microaggressions: Microassaults are overt forms of discrimination in which actors deliberately behave in discrimina- tory ways, but do not intend to offend someone or may think that their actions are not noticed or harmful.4 These types of experiences are similar to the “old-fashioned” discrimination that existed in earlier times, but different in that people may not openly proclaim their biases. For example, when someone says “That’s so gay!” to connote that something is weird, the person is aware of the words that they choose; however, they may not realize that using such language is considered homophobic and can offend LGBT people.
