Experiencing Microaggressions: Four stories of racial microaggressions based on examples from staff and students working on dental clinics

This comic is designed to start conversations about microaggression by presenting four stories from staff and students from our community based on their experiences of racist microaggressions. We hope these stories will lead to more conversations about microaggressions generally, and more specifically, racist microaggressions, leading to a greater understanding of how microaggressions can detrimentally impact people. Identifying racial microaggressions allows us to consider our own behaviour and that of others to help create a community that is fair and inclusive.

The examples illustrated in these stories have been adapted from real stories provided by staff and students at Dundee Dental Hospital and Research School.
