Our project
What is our plan?
Develop a tool to measure racial microaggressions among medical librarians and staff
Why is this important?
No research has been conducted to measure racial microaggressions in Medical Libraries.
Who will this help?
Administrators, librarians, staff, students, clinicians and patients.Slide23
What we have learned
Research on microaggressions is a huge topic.
Reevaluate how we want to move forward with our research.
We have to take a step back and think about how to construct a good survey tool to measure microaggression in the Medical Library community.
We have to look further and address the
impact
of racial microaggressions on people of color.Slide24
Future plans
Working to create a good survey tool
Training in the workplace
