Additional Information

Gwendolyn Miller is a Microaggressions Expert Witness and founder of Addressing Racial Microaggressions, LLC. She provides expert witness and consulting services in discrimination, hostile work environment, implicit bias, identity-based harassment, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and microaggressions matters involving workplace, education, healthcare, municipal, corporate, nonprofit, and retail settings. Her qualifications include graduate study in human development and education at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, where she earned a Master of Science in Education with a major in Interdisciplinary Studies of Human Development. She also holds a Diversity and Inclusion for HR Certificate from Cornell University. Miller's teaching and training experience includes university-affiliated instruction in diversity, equity, inclusion, and women's leadership, as well as Certified Diversity Executive and Certified Diversity Professional coursework through the Institute for Diversity Certification. She has developed and facilitated training on racial microaggressions, implicit bias, workplace culture, and inclusive practices for educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and professional audiences. For attorneys, Miller reviews pleadings, deposition testimony, internal complaints, workplace policies, emails, investigative materials, personnel records, communications, and other case documents. Her analysis evaluates whether the record reflects isolated interpersonal conflict or a broader pattern consistent with microaggressions, implicit bias, discriminatory treatment, hostile-environment dynamics, retaliation-related concerns, exclusionary conduct, or failures in institutional responses. Her expert witness case history includes matters involving higher education, private and religious schools, a hospital and medical center, a municipal fire department, corporate employment, a national professional association, retail discrimination, and a medical group. Her opinions have addressed race discrimination, gender discrimination, age discrimination, racial microaggressions, gender-based microaggressions, age-related microaggressions, workplace climate, institutional climate, differential treatment, discretionary decision-making, and the cumulative effects of repeated subtle conduct. Miller has served as a testifying expert for plaintiffs and defendants and as a consulting expert. She has prepared expert reports, completed expert analyses, and provided deposition testimony. Her work is methodologically disciplined, grounded in the case record, and designed to translate social-science concepts into clear, evidence-based expert analysis without offering legal conclusions. Law firms retain Miller for practical litigation support in cases where identity-based harm may be subtle, cumulative, or embedded in ordinary workplace or institutional practices. Her expertise helps attorneys present complex issues involving bias, discrimination, microaggressions, DEI, workplace culture, and institutional response in a structured, accessible, and scholarly manner.
