Professor Paul Weller,
Coventry University
Wednesday 17 March 2021
1pm – 2pm
Professor Paul Weller will present this seminar entitled “Uncovering and tackling religion- or belief-related harassment: lessons from an office for students’ research and intervention project”.
The presentation will discuss a Coventry University project led by Professor Weller, ‘Tackling religion-based hate crime on the multi-faith campus’.
The project aimed to:
• better support students in understanding what religion-based hate crime is and encourage them to report and receive support
• strengthen the existing reporting and case management mechanism to ensure it addresses religion-based hate crime affecting students
• provide an exemplar for the HE sector via partnership with, and knowledge sharing through, national organisations working on HE equality policy (ECU) and with Church of England chaplains.
