Oberlin Microaggressions

Our blog is primarily for students who have been marginalized at Oberlin. We welcome submissions by queer students, students of color, students with disabilities, international students, fat students, and other marginalized students who wish to tell it like it is.


This blog hopes to show that our campus is not free from marginalization. This blog is for our community to find strength and empowerment, to educate ourselves, and to let others know that none of us is alone in our struggles.


If you see or hear racist, heterosexist/homophobic, anti-Semitic, classist, ableist, sexist/cissexist speech etc., please submit it to us so that we may demonstrate that these acts are not simply isolated incidents, but rather part of structural inequalities.


Submissions are welcome. Please refer to the guidelines set on our submissions page.
