Beyond exceptionalism by Joffy Conolly, Getahun Yacob Abraham, Ane Bergersen, Kari Bratland, Kirsten Jæger, Annie Aarup Jensen, Inger Lassen

“…This egalitarian ideology results in colour-blindness in society and an unwillingness to acknowledge or confront issues of race, white supremacy, or inequality for fear of disturbing the equilibrium. Using decolonial theory, we then suggest that within education, Nordic exceptionalism has led to a singular historical narrative and attempts to assimilate minoritised groups, in the process valorising Western epistemology. …”
