The Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) works to meet the professional development needs of the ARC community. The CTL supports professional development that helps the college fulfill its mission, values, and commitment to social justice and equity, and to achieve its strategic goals. ARC community members develop and facilitate professional development opportunities. In addition, CTL partners with members of the greater community to offer professional learning experiences at ARC.

Many in our college community have expressed interest in learning more effective skills for dealing with microaggressions when they occur among colleague and with students. Since there is nothing "micro" about microaggressions, the authors of this book instead refer to them as "subtle acts of exclusion," to more accurately identify the impact. This book challenges us to take responsibility for being authentically kind, taking a deep dive into our conditioning, and doing what we can to change the "shadows" in our personal and professional cultures that often go unacknowledged.
