Explore the magnitude in which the use of microaggressions, ideas about race, gender, sexuality and body politics impacts our behaviors.

About this Event

Through the use of interactive conversation “No Fats, No Femmes, No Blacks: How Your Preferences May Actually Be Prejudice” will explore the magnitude in which the use of microaggressions, ideas about race, gender, sexuality and body politics impacts our behaviors and attitudes when creating dating and sexual “preferences”. It will also explore how these dynamics impede on our ability to view individuals holistically by exploring how these attitudes impact who we deem as desirable and the types of interpersonal behaviors we deem “appropriate” when building platonic, romantic and sexual relationships. Lastly we will also explore ways we can acknowledge and combat microaggressions and build stronger coalitions across communities.
