Description
This open access book addresses the key educational challenges faced by marginalized communities in Norway, advocating for inclusive and equitable learning environments with a focus on decolonization and empowerment. Drawing on case studies and examples from across Norway's diverse cultural landscape, the book highlights the importance of integrating various cultural narratives into education, enhancing students' understanding of their own identities and histories. It covers issues and topics including whiteness, Jewish and Muslim education, Norwegian history, climate justice, AI, gender, the manosphere and trumpism, critical pedagogy and mass testing. The book offers actionable insights and strategies for researchers, educators and policy makers to implement decolonized and socially just practices in their classrooms and educational systems.
