Listening

How do we work out where tensions are rising, or where there are issues we are equipped to help address? How do we find the messages that resonate with people and shape the conversation?

Our multi-faceted research team constantly monitors the hate groups in today's Britain, but we also undertake powerful in-depth research which informs our work on the ground. Our Fear and HOPE surveys offer one of the most comprehensive insights into identity in modern Britain, and our National Conversation on Immigration project engages the public in policymaking and allows us to map attitudes to immigration across the country.

The problematic art of humanising Muslims

Ramadan is over and with it ends iftars – the meal eaten to break the fast at sunset. The month has become a great tool for those working on interfaith as the number of community iftars grows and activities such as solidarity fasting have become more common. But efforts to humanise a community that is often painted with a broad terrorist brush contains its own pitfalls.
