Microaggressions on Students of Color (LGBTQ+): A Phenomenology

ABSTRACT : This study assessed the severity of microaggression on students of color or LGBTQ+ students and determined its implication in their daily lives. This study also sheds light on four major topics: to determine the common types of microaggression students of color communicate with their peers, families, classmates, and teachers; to assess the effects of microaggressions in the learning experience of students of color; to identify the coping mechanism the students of colors employ to continue and adopt in the school;and to identify solutions to help students of colors experiencing microaggressions. The study suggested that microaggression has affected students of color in multiple circumstances. Moreover, it significantly affected their outlook on themselves and the people around them. Nevertheless, various types of coping mechanisms and possible solutions were also discovered in the discussions. Finally, to aid learners who are experiencing microaggression, learning institutions are encouraged to be more informed and adaptable to these issues concerning gender-based microaggressions and other forms of discrimination to create a safe space for all. Furthermore, intervention programs and other activities are highly recommended to control gender-based microaggressions and other forms of discrimination in educational institutions.
