Research and Action on Social Polarization
Understanding for Better Action
Against a backdrop of increasing social polarization, hate crimes and incidents in Quebec and around the world, the Research and Action on Social Polarization (RAPS) team seeks to understand the social, political and psychological dynamics that fuel these polarizations and to support the development of effective prevention and intervention programs. Since 2016, the team has put forward transdisciplinary work supported by critical and ethical reflection and a solid articulation between practitioners and researchers from complementary backgrounds and disciplines.
