On today’s McGill’s Psychology Student Association Listserv:
All kidding aside, we all know the psychology faculty is a diverse group and we here at the MPSA strive to represent each and every one of you. You may have seen the McGill Microaggressions tumblr posts being passed around regarding incidences that occurred in McGill psychology classes. We, the MPSA, feel deeply sorry that these intensely hurtful experiences transpired, and that the respective professors were not held accountable for their actions. We recognize that these incidences were not the first microaggressions to have happened in psychology classes, nor will they, realistically and unfortunately, be the last.
If any microaggressions occur in your psychology classes in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us (anonymously or otherwise) and inform us of the situation. We will do our best to work with the faculty and staff to create a safer, more inclusive space for all students. Furthermore, both the AUS and SSMU have a commitment to Equity (the AUS recently passed a new Equity policy, attached to this email), and we will work with them in our mission to represent all students.
Once again, please feel free to send me questions about other resources.
In sol,
McGill Microaggressions
