Webinar report: Based on statistics outlining various forms of ethnicity-related segregation in Austrian schools, the ZARA webinar offered valuable typologies classifying 1) acts of racism; 2) strategies adopted by people targeted by acts of racism and 3) individualist and systemic explanatory frameworks accounting for racism as a social phenomenon. After her talk, MMag.a Mishela Ivanova PhD answered questions on best practice in cases of racially motivated learner-to-learner aggression.
