Abstract
A gap in the literature appears to exist between the internship experiences for interns that might belong to minority groups based on sex assigned at birth, gender identity, racism, ableism, and classism versus those that identify as White, cisgender, able-bodied, financially privileged, and male. The purpose of this survey study was to examine the incidence of microaggressions, including sexism, cisgenderism, classism, racism, and ableism, experienced by music therapy interns. Results suggested that race-related microaggressions are prevalent for BIPOC interns throughout their internship experience, also for gender non-conforming interns, bisexual, pansexual, lesbian, and gay interns, interns with emotional and/or physical disabilities, and interns belonging to lower and middle-lower socio-economic class. Further, results suggest that microaggressions resulted in significant consequences for bisexual and pansexual interns, interns who self-identified as having emotional disabilities, and interns belonging to the lower and middle-lower socio-economic class. Keywords: microaggressions, internships, minority, majority, dominant
