Professor Taylor conducts laboratory and field research in the area of intergroup relations. Of particular interest are the conditions under which members of a disadvantaged group will accept their situation, take individual action, or instigate collective action. Professor Taylor's current research focuses on refugees in Canada, racial groups in urban centres in Canada and the United States, and aboriginal groups such as the Inuit of Arctic Quebec and First Nations communities. The guiding theoretical framework is his theory of the "self" which emphasizes collective identity.
