The Research Network on Antisemitism in the 21st Century (FoNA21) was founded within the framework of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) funding program Current Dynamics and Challenges of Antisemitism. It is composed of ten collaborative projects and one coordinating project that are dedicated to researching the causes and manifestations of antisemitism in contemporary Germany through a variety of interdisciplinary and methodological perspectives.
Professionalize police and teachers against anti-Semitism
Public servants are supposed to counter anti-Semitism, but so far they have hardly been adequately prepared for this. A new research network is now addressing this issue.
What knowledge should future public servants in schools and the police have in order to actively counteract anti-Semitism in their working environment? And how can their level of knowledge on the topic, which is also linked to individual attitudes, be surveyed and measured? What kind of argumentation training can help to professionalize the necessary skills of the target group already during training? These questions are being addressed by the interdisciplinary team of the EMPATHIA³ research network, led by Prof. Dr. Nicola Brauch, history didactician at the Ruhr University Bochum (RUB). As one of ten nationwide projects, it is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research in the funding line "Current Dynamics and Challenges of Anti-Semitism" for four years. The network will begin its research work at the beginning of October 2021.
