Funded Activity Summary

Minority hostility and resistance: The interplay between majority rejection and minority goals. Our current theorizing cannot inform us about the antecedents of minority hostility towards majorities, the causes of minority radicalisation, and defiance of majority norms. There is an urgent need to examine these issues because fears of minority hostility (whether real or imagined) may lead to civil unrest and the breakdown of relationships between minorities and majorities. The unique value of the research lies in addressing an important social issue and concern in everyday society and its outcomes will inform policy development. In addition, the research helps to advance Australia's intellectual leadership position in this area, provides research training, and strengthens existing collaborative networks.
