Antisemitism in young people's everyday lives: experiences and coping strategies
Short description
Antisemitism is one of the oldest forms of racism in the world and can be briefly explained as racism directed against Jews. Children and young people with a Jewish background are at high risk of being exposed to antisemitism in their everyday lives through social media, school contexts and workplaces, among other things.
The purpose of the study is to shed light on young people with a Jewish background's experiences of antisemitism and to investigate the factors that influence strategies for dealing with it.
A deeper understanding of young Jews' perspectives and lived experiences can help to better meet their needs and professionally mobilise against antisemitism and other forms of racism.
The research conducted within the doctoral programme at the Department of Social Work includes a number of dissertation projects addressing social problems and phenomena, social processes and the conditions of social work.
Within the framework of these themes, both doctoral students and collaborative doctoral students work with different theoretical and methodological approaches.
