This practical, accessible, nonjudgmental handbook is the first to help individuals and organizations recognise and prevent microaggressions so that all employees can feel a sense of belonging in their workplace. Our work places and society are growing more diverse, but are we supporting inclusive cultures? While overt racism, sexism, ableism, and other forms of discrimination are relatively easy to spot, we cannot neglect the subtler everyday actions that normalize exclusion. Many have heard the term aggression, but not everyone fully understands what they are or how to recognise them and stop them from happening. In this book, Tiffany Jana and Michael Baran offer a clearer, more accessible Term, subtle acts of exclusion, or saes, to emphasise the purpose and effects of these actions. After all, people generally aren’t trying to be aggressive—usually they're trying to say something nice, learn more about a person, be funny, or build closeness. But whether in the form of exaggerated stereotypes, backhanded compliments, unfounded assumptions, or objectification, sae are damaging to our co-workers, friends, and acquaintances. Jana and Baran give simple and clear tools to identify and address such acts, offering scripts and action plans for everybody involved: the subject, initiator, and observer. Knowing how to have these conversations in an open-minded, honest way will help us build trust and create stronger work places and healthier, happier people and communities.
