Our goal for this project is to examine the prevalence of microaggressions at the campus of University of Portland. We will interview UP students, primarily white, and ask them if they are aware of what microaggressions are and whether or not they occur on campus. We will give them examples of microaggressions, and then ask whether or not they think it’s offensive–and why. We will also research and explain some of the studied effects of microaggressions on people of color.
