Germany’s National Discrimination and Racism Monitor
About the Event
Supported with funds from the German Federal Parliament, the goal of the National Discrimination and Racism Monitor (NaDiRa) at DeZIM-Institut in Berlin is to research the causes, extent, and consequences of racism in Germany. In 2021, an interdisciplinary group of researchers began to investigate racism in Germany with the help of different quantitative, qualitative, and experimental methodologies. The monitor’s work includes regular representative surveys of the German population as well as analyses of the organizational culture of institutions to study structural racism, and studies of specific social groups and is accompanied by a body of representatives from groups that experience racism. With its highly interdisciplinary team and methodologies, it represents a unique institution in Germany.
