Descrizione del progetto
Discriminazione cumulativa contro le minoranze
La discriminazione contro le minoranze razziali, etniche e religiose in Europa è spesso legata ai crimini d’odio e rappresenta una sfida sociale significativa. Il progetto EQUALSTRENGTH, finanziato dall’UE, si concentrerà sull’esperienza delle minoranze musulmane, rom e nere per studiare le forme cumulative e strutturali di discriminazione, il pregiudizio nei confronti di altri gruppi e i crimini d’odio da una prospettiva trasversale e intersezionale. Il progetto valuterà la natura sistemica del pregiudizio nei vari ambiti della vita e analizzerà i fattori politici e istituzionali che vi contribuiscono. EQUALSTRENGTH documenterà anche le esperienze vissute e le strategie di resilienza adottate per affrontare la discriminazione quotidiana, mettendo inoltre in evidenza i punti di convergenza tra razza, etnia, religione e altre dimensioni della disuguaglianza come il genere, l’orientamento sessuale e lo status socioeconomico.
Obiettivo
The main contribution of EqualStrength is to investigate cumulative and structural forms of discrimination, outgroup prejudice and hate crimes against ethnic, racial and religious minorities from a cross-setting and intersectional perspective. We deploy innovative, targetted and effective methods, which include field experiments, population-level secondary survey data, meso-level policy analysis and targeted data collection to include the perspective of minority groups who directly confront discrimination.
Our approach allows us to meet five interrelated research objectives:
First, we reveal structural and cumulative forms of ethnic and racial discrimination in Europe, focusing on the experience of Muslim, Roma and Black minorities. Second, we assess the systemic nature of prejudice across life domains, targetting anti-Muslim, anti-Black and anti-Roma attitudes. Third, we analyse policy and institutional factors that contribute to structural discrimination and prejudices. Fourth, we document the lived experiences and coping strategies adopted to confront everyday discrimination. And finally, we highlight the intersection of race, ethnicity and religion with other dimensions of inequality such as gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic position.
In meeting these objectives, we promise three key contributions:
First, we shift the paradigm, moving from a focus on individuals at risk to a family perspective. Second, we reveal cumulative, structural and intersectional disadvantage, pushing beyond setting-specific and single-group discrimination. Third, we provide a multi-actor and multi-level perspective that simultaneously considers multiple actors (i.e. gatekeepers; ethnic, racial and religious minorities; majority groups) and levels of analysis (i.e. the micro-level of individual decisions; the meso-level of organisations, neighbourhoods, rental agencies and childcare facilities; the macro-level of countries and nation-wide institutions).
