Racial Microaggressions in Higher Education: The Doctoral Student Experience

By Dr. Ryan C. Warner

Racial microaggressions, a modern form of racism comprised of subtle daily racial slights and insults, have received increased empirical attention. It has been suggested that these everyday disparaging messages, which are often ambiguous, carry with them more severe psychological consequences than overt forms of discrimination. However, little is known about the experience of microaggressions and their effects on African American doctoral students, particularly those within the field of psychology. Using a research-based approach, this book sheds light onto the experiences of this group, while also describing ways these individuals may cope with micraggressions within higher education.
