Mapping Ordinary Anti-Racism

This project determined the rates of everyday anti-racism in Victoria, and how they vary across demographics and places. The team identified important pro-social, intercultural actions in everyday life and the everyday language of anti-racism among Victorians, including which anti-racism discourses work best, and how pro-social action can be best inspired through campaigns. The team developed recommendations on changes to community level intercultural dialogue interventions and the means for best evaluating their effectiveness and impacts, based on our international review of the current literature. The team has made recommendations on the utility of discourses and scenarios planned for use in Victorian Government’s proposed social cohesion communications campaign, and advice on how those can be spatially tailored.
