Abstract | Microaggressions are subtle and innocuous interpersonal interactions that convey the message that a person’s worth is less because of their membership in a particular social group. As such, children from marginalised social groups and their parents are at risk of experiencing microaggressions within the school context in the form of ableism, racism, sexism, classism and heterosexism. Though the perpetrator may be unaware of the messages they send through their microaggressions, the repeated exposure to insults, invalidations and assaults can lead to a cumulative trauma response in the receiver of microaggressions. |
