Forschungsverbund Diskriminierung und Rassismus (FoDiRa)
Project description
The collaborative project FoDiRa systematically investigates central areas in which racist prejudices can arise, reproduce or intensify in everyday life. In particular, research is being conducted on the most relevant areas of life: education, work and housing, and health. In addition, the fields of (social) media, sports and the Internet will be examined. The focus is on the further development and use of innovative quantitative research methods to investigate discrimination and racism. These will be incorporated into the National Discrimination and Racism Monitor (NaDiRa). Six projects are using innovative data, such as process-generated or web-scraped data. Three projects are developing semi-automated text analysis procedures for use in racism research. Four projects use experimental methods, and three projects use geospatial data or regional/local variation for causal research.
