description |
Across Europe, and in the context of a post-BREXIT situation, society is having to
accommodate to large numbers of people from diverse cultures. There is a reported
increase in xenophobic incidents, bullying and social exclusion, indicating that diversity
runs the risk of intolerance and prejudice. This is played out in all manner of social
situations in schools and universities, in the community and in the workplace. This
discussion paper, written by three U.K. Social Scientists representing the disciplines of
psychology, criminology, education and sociology, focuses on the legal and moral
aspects of the issue as well as on interventions that promote tolerance and xenophilia in a
range of social contexts. It concludes with recommendations to social scientists in all
European countries to enter the debate and carry out research in this challenging and
highly topical field. |
