Story | Not all acts of bias are easy to see or identify. Some of them are so subtle, they’re only felt. These subtle but painful interactions are known as microaggressions and they have a significant impact on peoples’ physical and mental health. To help raise self-awareness around this issue, Canada’s largest Diversity, Equity and Inclusion organizations (Black Business & Professional Association, Canadian Congress on Inclusive Diversity & Workplace Equity, Pride at Work, and the Diversity Institute), launched TheMicropedia.org, the first encyclopedia of microaggressions. It’s a judgement-free online tool that provides easy-to-digest information where people can unlearn their unconscious bias and make immediate changes in their daily interactions with others. Like other community-driven resources, entries are collected via user submissions. Entries span nine categories and define the harmful impact of the microaggression while providing resources and real-world examples from news, media, and pop culture. By raising self-awareness, The Micropedia will create safer workplaces, institutions and interactions, and have lasting societal impact. |
