Global Perspectives on Microaggressions in Higher Education: Understanding and Combating Covert Violence in Universities

by Christine Cho (Editor), Julie Corkett (Editor)

Overview

This book recognizes microaggression as a pervasive issue in colleges and universities around the world and offers critical analyses of the local and institutional contexts in which such incidences of violence and discrimination occur.

Authors from Egypt, Barbados, South Africa, Canada, and the United States explore the origins and forms of microaggression which impact students, faculty, and staff in higher education and address issues including xenophobia, sexual violence, linguistic discrimination, and racial prejudice. Drawing on a range of theoretical frameworks and utilizing empirical, qualitative, and ethnographic methods to consider microaggressions perpetrated by both students and staff, each chapter proposes practical ways to prevent violence through education, student agency, policy, and leadership.

This book offers a contemporary global dialogue with educators and is vital reading for educators and administrators in higher education.
