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.
Foregrounding the voices of researchers, teacher educators, and
student teachers through a variety of methodological approaches, the
volume examines and critiques interconnected barriers rooted in
experiences and ideologies of class, gender, sexual orientation, race,
ethnicity, body, language, literacy, and religion that marginalize
students and scholars, particularly those with multiple minority
identities. Chapters identify persistent gaps in policy and practice
in the experiences of students and scholars, including those from the
Global South, despite growing equity, diversity, and inclusion
mandates and discourses promoted by Norwegian higher education. To
address such challenges, this volume advocates for decolonization,
pluriversality, and systemic changes in higher education and academic
practices through intersectionality to create a more inclusive and
equitable higher education landscape. Advocating for the need to
ethically humanize, diversify and decolonize Norwegian higher
education, this book will be of interest to researchers, scholars and
postgraduate students in the fields of higher education, multicultural
education, and sociology of education. Policymakers and administrators
may also benefit from the volume.
