Anti-Semitism in the Contexts of Schools and the Police - Federal State Study Series

The research interest of the study series concerns the perceptions and interpretations of anti-Semitism in schools as well as the practices of dealing with anti-Semitic attacks. The perspectives of Jewish families, former pupils, teachers, school administrators and actors in educational work and policy are analysed. Following partial studies in Berlin, Baden-Württemberg and Thuringia, the study series is currently being continued in Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. The study is being implemented in a long-term cooperation between the Competence Centre for Prevention and Empowerment and the University of Applied Sciences Potsdam.
