Welcome to the Institute for Hate Studies networking site where we are building an online community of learners committed to challenging hate, supporting social justice, and creating a world where all people are respected for who they are and can pursue their fullest potential without fear of retribution or attack.

This site is an opportunity for people interested in deepening their understanding of hate to come together to learn and study about this topic through forums, news, research, resource links, and other strategies that develop as this site grows.

The direction and growth of this site is based on you, the user. Feel free to create a discussion in the forum section. Our site will be as useful as we jointly create it to be.

Our community will also only grow with your help. Invite your colleagues, friends, and others to join us if they are interested in this topic and in networking with people from all across the world.

The Institute makes available annually two $1000 awards to support graduate students and one $500 award to support undergraduate students who are engaged in research that addresses the issue of hate. Topics may include examining hate in any of its manifestations including but not limited to racism, sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, ethnoviolence, and terrorism; methods of challenging it; how hate is maintained and perpetrated through culture, organizations, policies, politics, media, or discourse.

Research project proposals from all disciplines are accepted and projects that examine hate from an interdisciplinary perspective are strongly encouraged. Projects may involve academic research or be approached through the media, fine arts, or performing arts.  Any student currently enrolled and in good standing at a graduate or undergraduate program at an accredited college or university in the United States may apply for the award.

 

More information about these awards and the Call for Proposals may be found on the Institute's website.

Vision: The Journal of Hate Studies is an international scholarly journal promoting the sharing of interdisciplinary ideas and research relating to the study of what hate is, where it comes from, and how to combat it. It presents cutting-edge essays, theory, and research that deepen the understanding of the development and expression of hate. The Journal aims to provide a deeper understanding of the processes that encourage the expression of hate so that methods of challenging and stopping its expression may be based on theory and research. The Journal reflects the optimism that as hate is understood, it can be contained and controlled allowing for persons to reach their full human potential without fear of retribution.

Writing and Content: The Journal seeks articles written with precision and depth, and that are compelling for a wide audience. Articles accepted for publication are citation-based (APA style), with high quality underlying philosophical and psychological development of thought. A primary criterion for acceptance is the level to which the article enriches, extends, and advances the study and understanding of hate in its multiplicity of forms.

Call for Papers: The ninth volume of the Journal of Hate Studies, to be published in 2011, will be printing the proceedings from the International Conference on Hate Studies.

You can view the Journal at our web site. You may also purchase hard copies of volumes 1-8 by e-mailing againsthate@gonzaga.edu with your request. Back issues are $25 each. Purchase 3 or more volumes, individual copies are $20.
