Microaggressions, othering, and belonging in the training room
Tuesday 13 April | 10am AEST | Presented by Vanessa Solomon
This session is Part 2 of 3 about "Psychosocial safety in the training environment: a deep dive" and:
Examines how everyday microaggressions and subtle othering behaviours undermine psychological safety and learner participation, with a specific focus on how these manifest in adult literacy settings.
It's often the small moments that do the most damage – an offhand comment, a joke that lands wrong, a learner who's quietly left out.
This session shows trainers and assessors how everyday microaggressions and othering chip away at psychological safety and participation – and, more importantly, what to do about them. Pick up practical strategies to recognise, interrupt and repair these moments, whether they come from staff or from within your learner group.
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Recognise microaggressions and othering in training settings
- Interrupt and repair harmful behaviours
- Foster belonging and psychological safety in training activities
