What about Us? A Quantitative Analysis of Microaggressions in Community Colleges

ProQuest LLC, Ed.D. Dissertation, Seton Hall University
Microaggressions have been studied in higher-education institutions, professional work environments, and ordinary life. However, most research studies on microaggressions in higher education focus on the experiences of college students at four-year institutions, exposing a gap in the literature on microaggressions in two-year community colleges. Research has shown that community college students' collegiate experiences differ from those of students at more "traditional" college settings, based on factors such as cost of attendance, flexibility, and campus life. The increasing diversity of student demographics in community colleges suggests a greater likelihood for microaggressions to arise within these institutions. Thus, a quantitative approach was used to investigate the prevalence of microaggressions within community colleges, along with other related objectives. A national survey revealed a statistically significant relationship between community college students' race and the extent to which they experience microaggressions. The findings also offer greater insight into the experiences of microaggressions among community college students. The study concludes with a discussion on contributions, limitations, and recommendations for future research.
