Monitoring and Countering Racist and Xenophobic Attitudes in Universities: A Study of the Spanish Committee of UNHCR (en Español)

Virtual Eastern Standard Time Zone, GA

Universities play a strategic role in countering discrimination, racism and hate speech in our societies. But do we actually know to what extent xenophobic attitudes may emerge or proliferate in university campuses? To address this issue, the Spanish Committee of UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) is launching an online survey targeting students of ten Spanish public universities. The survey is part of a wider research on the presence of racist and xenophobic attitudes in higher education institutions. In this webinar UNHCR’s researchers meet UC3M experts to discuss how universities can effectively monitor and counteract racism and xenophobia in their campuses.

Organizer: University Carlos III Madrid in collaboration with the Spanish Committee of UNHCR
