The FoDiRa joint project systematically investigates key areas in which racist prejudices can arise, reproduce or reinforce themselves in everyday life. In particular, research is being conducted into the most relevant areas of life: education, work, housing and health. The fields of (social) media, sport and the internet are also being investigated. The focus is on the further development and use of innovative quantitative research methods to investigate discrimination and racism. These will be incorporated into the National Discrimination and Racism Monitor (NaDiRa). Innovative data, such as process-generated data or data obtained through web scraping, will be used in six projects. Three projects are developing semi-automated text analysis methods for use in racism research. Four projects use experimental methods and three projects use geodata or regional/local variation for causal research.
