Operations
The ECSH operates across multiple levels of orientation, with members working on interrelated topics - from individual prejudice (micro) to community impact (meso) to structural and legal contexts (macro).
The ECSH advances evidence-informed dialogue at European and national levels on challenging hate towards those who are marginalised or stigmatised.
The ECSH is the nexus for research-policy-practice linkages and the originator of translational interdisciplinary European scholarship on one of the most important issues facing Europe today.
International links
The ECSH is proud to be affiliated with the International Network for Hate Studies.
The INHS was set up in 2013 and seeks to not only promote understanding of the root causes of hate and hate crime but to understand ways in which it can be combated in society.
ECSH co-director Professor Jennifer Schweppe was co-founder and co-director of the INHS with Professor Mark Walters of the University of Sussex from 2013 to 2023.
The INHS runs a biennial conference, and the HHRG was privileged to host the second of these conferences in May 2016 at University of Limerick.
