Intersectional Perspectives on Equality and Social Justice in Norwegian Higher Education [Hardcover]

Highlighting how systemic inequities in Norwegian higher education are perpetuated through colonial legacies, monocultures of knowledge, and a lack of critical engagement, this book offers an intersectional analysis that identifies issues and complexities in the domains of pedagogy, epistemology, research, curriculum, and support services.

Timely and highly needed, this well-written book contextualizes the existence of intersectional differences in Norwegian academia. Intersectional Perspectives sheds light on the invisible reductionism and colonial legacy still embedded in Norwegian higher education. It offers first-hand decolonial critiques of higher education, as well as a profound theoretical understanding of the epistemological foundations of Norwegian academia.
