Abstract
Due to a long history of systemic injustices in public schools as well as the current national rhetoric and vitriol towards historically marginalized communities, students and educators are experiencing an uptick in bullying and microaggressions rooted in racism, linguicism, sexism, and ableism. The conceptual framework in this chapter draws on micro- and macroaggression theory, equity literacy, resistance, and microinterventions to explore equity, diversity, and social justice issues pre-service teachers (PST s) faced in their field experiences and how they might respond to these issues. The findings are presented using critical case analysis and explores possibilities for collaboration.
