Measuring and mapping the experience of racism in Australia

这是对澳大利亚种族主义经历的情况和频率的第一次实证评估。以电话调查12000人为主，在10个地区进行实地调查。将分析种族主义经历的空间和社会差异。社会建构理论将被检验作为这种变化的解释。区域反种族主义一揽子计划将在实地编制和试验。将为地方当局和社区打击种族主义提供决策支持工具。一个独特的种族主义数据库将支持学术专著、博士论文和一系列评审文章。

This is the first empirical assessment of the circumstances and frequency of the experience of racism in Australia. A telephone survey, 12000 respondents, and fieldwork in ten localities, are the major method. Spatial and social variations in the experience of racism will be analysed. Social construction theory will be tested as an explanation of such variations. Regional anti-racism packages will be developed and tested in the field. Decision-support tools for local authorities and communities to combat racism will be provided. A unique racism database will underpin a scholarly monograph, doctoral dissertation and a series of refereed articles.
