Between a rock and a hard place
In this article, we explore how individuals navigate in seemingly neutral contexts where discrimination occurs while it is simultaneously denied.

Further, we argue that structural discrimination is part of a sh…

In particular, we examine how notions of ‘Danish…

I present and discuss discrimination as it surfaces in data from …
