Talk Dirty to Me – Micro-Aggressions Activity

Do you know how some of the things you might say without thinking in everyday conversations may be perceived as nasty, and even hurtful, by your peers? Come learn about micro-aggressions across from Copy/Mail in the SUB and how they might sound when inserted into everyday conversations. This interactive activity will allow participants to identify colloquial statements containing micro-aggressions and match each to the dirty, underlying message that may be implied by such a remark.

It all begins with a mistake, an error with serious consequences: in a hospital the new-born babies of an Austrian couple and a Turkish family of immigrant workers are mixed up and go home with the wrong parents. By the time the mistake comes to light, it emerges that the Turkish family, including the baby, has been deported. The despairing Austrian couple begins a confusing odyssey through Turkey in order to track down the unsuspecting family to their native village. But they are not at all convinced that the babies have been mixed up. It is decided that the only way to know for sure is to have a blood test done. It is decided that the blood work is done in Vienna due to the better medical resources, but that will be far from simple. *It will involve an illegal smuggling of the Turks across the Austrian border.
