The new International Lab for Research and Leadership in Interfaith Collaboration and Coexistence, under the leadership of Teachers College professor Dr. Amra Sabic-El-Rayess, will serve as a center of excellence for research, leadership, and training, amplifying protective factors against all forms of hate based on one's religion, race or ethnicity.
