Freilich Project for the Study of Bigotry

The Herbert and Valmae Freilich Project for the Study of Bigotry is a philanthropically funded, interdisciplinary research centre based at The Australian National University. The Project supports research into the causes, histories and effects of ethnic, cultural, religious, and sexual bigotry and animosity. It promotes public discussion on how such intolerance can be combatted and how co-existence can be promoted through social, research and educational programs.

... we need a vaccine before it [bigotry] becomes, or while it is becoming, a global pandemic. The purpose of the Foundation is to participate, in however small a way, in the vaccination process. And that process must be education.

- Herbert Freilich, Co-Founder, The Herbert and Valmae Freilich Project for the Study of Bigotry
