The Seeds Of Tolerance strives to contribute to the academic field by sponsoring various research projects exploring the concept of tolerance and its implications on children and education. By facilitating consortiums and other collaboration among individuals in the field, the Foundation fostered connections between scholars and educators in order to develop the best practices of teaching tolerance and anti-bias in educational programs.
Our most recent research fellow is a neuroscientist, who is working to shed light on the parts of the brain that cause and suppress bias. Through their research and collaboration with the Foundation's other partners, these researchers are working towards the common goal of understanding the origins and factors of tolerance.
