Freilich Project for the Study of Bigotry

The Herbert and Valmae Freilich Project for the Study of Bigotry is a philanthropically funded, interdisciplinary research centre based at The Australian National University. The Project supports research into the causes, histories and effects of ethnic, cultural, religious, and sexual bigotry and animosity. It promotes public discussion on how such intolerance can be combatted and how co-existence can be promoted through social, research and educational programs.

With bigotry an even bigger public issue than two decades ago, it is imperative that the vision of people learning to live together remains undimmed.
