About us

The focus of the Centre on Hate, Bias and Extremism (CHBE) is to explore the ways in which hate, bias and extremism challenge values of inclusion and equity, along lines of race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability and other relevant status characteristics, both singly and interactively. It recognizes the historical continuities that underlie contemporary patterns of discrimination, exclusion and violence directed toward those who are targeted.

The Centre aims to advance awareness, understanding and prevention of hate, bias and extremism by providing evidence-based research that will inform policies and practices to promote a just and equitable society for all.
