This project will investigate together with highly renowned research teams from nine universities and research centres across Europe, why and to what extent ethnic, racial, and religious minorities are exposed to discriminatory behaviour and prejudicial attitudes in multiple life domains since birth.
They will study how this continuous exposure accumulates over the life course and perpetuates minorities’ subordinate position over generations. For societies that strive to be inclusive and guarantee equal opportunities for all their members, this structural and cumulative pattern of disadvantage is a major concern. Among others the main contribution of EQUALSTRENGTH is to investigate cumulative and structural forms of discrimination, outgroup prejudice, and hate crimes, among others from a cross-setting and intersectional perspective.
