REFRAMING MICROAGGRESSIONS REFRAMING MICROAGGRESSIONS Print You might have heard about microaggressions, or as authors Tiffany Jana and Michael Baran describe them, those “subtle, confusing, insidious things that people say and do that end up excluding people with marginalized identities.” But Jana and Baran want to introduce us to a new definition in their book Subtle Acts of Exclusion: How to Understand, Identify, and Stop Microaggressions. Why reframe the term “microaggression”? Because context is important! Too often these days, “microaggression” gets lumped in with other hot button terms like “political correctness” and “trigger warning,” contributing to arguments against “victim culture” and the perceived fragility of younger generations. But shifting the terminology can help people better understand and address the issue. Jana and Baran coined the term “subtle acts of exclusion,” or SAE for short, to better describe what microaggressions actually are: 1. They are subtle. The “micro” in microaggression can be deceptive. It diminishes the cause and effect of such interactions. Instead, using the term “subtle” correctly acknowledges that these acts can be, as Jana and Baran write, “confusing, hard to identify, and challenging to speak about.” 2. They are acts. Regardless of their intentions, SAE are things that people say and do. The same is true, of course, for microaggressions, but using the term “aggression” can easily make the doer defensive. Using “subtle acts of exclusion” focuses on the act itself and can help people learn without feeling judged. 3. They serve to exclude. It’s right there in the name: SAE work to exclude rather than include others, and it’s vital to highlight that this exclusion is a problem not just for the subject of the SAE but for “the larger culture where the repetition of these SAE reinforces and maintains systems of power, inequality, bias, and what is considered normal.” Take Away: It’s important to remember that SAE aren’t the only forms of exclusion and discrimination. As Jana and Baran note, other types include “explicit, intentional acts of exclusion and structural exclusion/inequality.” But as subtle acts of exclusion are extremely common in the workplace (often much more common than the wildly racist, homophobic, ableist, sexist, and anti-religious rants), understanding and addressing them is essential.
