Student A complaints about micro aggression from student B. Topics that surface are: acts like I don’t know, doesn’t care about my opinion. Both are working professionals (late 20s, early 30s). Student A doesn’t feel like they belong (Native American at a top 10 research universities in the US) and has experienced racism on campus Student B is part of dominant demographic of the program (white female) Student A current mindset is “remove me from the team project & give me extra work” or “suck it up & not try to tell Student B how their actions impact them” What would you do? Course ends in 2 weeks. Student A has another 4 courses to do.

Happy to jump on a call to help you work through it. My first reaction is Student A won't stop feeling like this; Student B will continually become someone new if it's not her. Based on what you shared in the cast, it sounds like A hasn't talked with B. Now my experience is in k-12 not academia, but my thoughts are: - I would see if there could be a mediation session with a Student C who is not involved in the drama and can help A & B worth through it - Or maybe a counselor of some sort if it's not appropriate for a C. I went to another students because I think peer mediation can be helpful especially there are generational things we don't know. Finally, I think it would be could if A was able to see a counselor or a therapist who can help them process their trauma & give them tools to address these situations when they happen again b/c unfortunately they will. P.S might be helpful to have Student C for A and Student D for B so neither feel ganged up on but these aren't their friends they are impartial peeps
