Herbert & Valmae Freilich Project for the Study of Bigotry

The Freilich Project at The Australian National University exists for study into the causes, histories and the effects of ethnic, cultural, religious and sexual bigotry and animosity. It also promotes research into how such intolerance can be combatted--and co-existence promoted--by educational and social programs.

 

Formally established in July 1999, the Freilich Project runs a range of lectures, conferences and seminars, all of which are open to the public. The Project also convenes a research network for scholars and awards small research grants.
