Strategies to Oppose Prejudice (STOP) is a team of academics and researchers dedicated to carrying out cutting-edge research to understand how prejudice develops and how to combat it.
Based in the University of Kent’s School of Psychology, STOP research
- uncovers the drivers of prejudice, and
- develops and stimulates evidence-based anti-prejudice interventions, which are robustly tested.
Our mission is to conduct ground-breaking research into prejudice, and ensure those findings reach national and grass-roots organisations in a position to make change through policy, practice, and education.
Our collaborations are integral to our work. Our researchers value longstanding partnerships with policy, advocacy and education organisations, including the Equality and Human Rights Commission, Anne Frank Trust, Ageing Better, and Linking Network.
Our researchers
- develop intervention programmes
- develop tools to measure prejudice and capture attitude change, and
- author government reports.
