VIRTUAL | DEIB with Dr. Rebecca Baumgartner: It Begins With Us | A Thousand cuts: Bias and Microaggressions at Work
Many people know what biases are. Not as many understand the term microaggressions. In essence, they are a person’s implicit, or unconscious, bias expressed. Coined by psychiatrist Chester M. Pierce, MD, in the 1970s, microaggressions can be described as “death by a thousand paper cuts” for the slow and incessant trauma that builds up over time. This type of exclusionary behavior erodes trust within the workplace and negatively impacts the mental and emotional wellness of marginalized individuals.
