Abstract
Microaggressions are forms of subtle, everyday discrimination that can negatively impact people from disempowered social groups in the US. In her talk, Dr. Torres-Harding will describe and define microaggressions, discuss the cognitive and physiological pathways through which microaggressions may impact health status, and discuss how they may contribute to existing racial health disparities in the US.
