The surprise element’ – the negotiation of racialized visibility and opacity in STEM
This article investigates high achieving racialized and minoritized female junior scholars’ negotiations of (in)visibility in academia – more specifically within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in Denmark. Some bodies by their mere presence become a source of surprise and disruption in the settings and spaces of academia. This article takes, as its point of departure, the question of what it means to become a surprise. Wor…
Memory work as an affective-discursive methodology for teachers’ negotiations of racialised differentiations in the classroom
How can we grapple with the often subtle, embodied and sometimes ephemeral experiences and affects associated with processes of racialisation? We propose memory work as an affective-discursive methodology that can inform and inspire educational research by interrogating that which is often not mentioned, but felt, located between words and bodily reactions. Empirical findings from two research projects on schools in Denmark provide insights into …
Caring about the elephants in feminist classrooms
This article explores how feminist teachers can engage with affective pedagogies when teaching intersectional gender studies. In the context of global corporate universities that emphasise action plans on diversity, equality, and inclusion, and alongside a rise in anti-gender and anti-diversity politics both within society and on campuses, feminist scholars encounter challenges in navigating affective contestations and tensions when teaching inte…
The tipping point’––interrogating racialized nationalist affects in Danish high schools
In this article, we explore the fear and anxiety reflected within and generated by educational dispersal policies related to racialized minoritized students in Danish high schools. The article examines the production of high schools as sites of integration within policy and discourse and how racialized minoritized students are represented as ‘perpetually arriving’ and challenging the social cohesiveness of the Danish high school. Our conception o…
Dehumanization and a psychology of deglobalization
This article seeks to conceptualize and analyze how processes of deglobalization are interdependently connected with processes of dehumanization, double bind, and racialization in the field of radicalization of ethnic and religious minorities in Denmark. We analyze two sociopolitical cases to show how deglobalization takes form in local practice, enabling or limiting specific subjects’ and groups’ possibilities of being perceived and accepted as …
How Racial Matter Comes to Matter
Dolls have a long history in psychological and literary scholarship, and in popular culture. Many of these cultural products point to how dolls bring forth imaginaries of race and gender. Dolls, however, are not only figures of representation or identification. Dolls are agential in the ways they bring life to racialised, affective and embodied experiences. In this article, we develop an affective hauntology, applying memory work to explore how m…
Transmethodological mo(ve)ments
This article presents the authors’ collaboration with a former gang leader, referred to as X, as part of a research project exploring identity transformation and mo(ve)ments beyond gang engagement. The project is based on a transmethodological approach that involves different embodied researcher positionalities, theoretical engagements, and a merging of diverse research fields. The exploration of the different movements and changes in X’s life is…
Memory Work as Engaged Critical Pedagogy
The article draws on years of experience teaching otherness, racialization and whiteness on a postgraduate level in Copenhagen, and aims to analyze how it is possible to facilitate constructive discussions on race, whiteness and otherness utilizing memory work. The article is structured around three main points of relevance, which are connected to the main challenges of teaching sensitive topics such as racism, whiteness and privilege in majoriti…
Transmethodology
The special issue deals with entanglements, borders, and bridges between ideas, concepts, and spheres often considered separate and distinct elements in research processes that are frequently represented as well-ordered and linear. Under the heading transmethodology, our aim has been to make space for and bring to light the often messy, non-linear, and complex research processes that form our methodologies
Researcher Positioning
This article focuses on the complex and multilayered process of researcher positioning, specifically in relation to the politically sensitive study of marginalised and “othered” groups such as Muslims living in Denmark. We discuss the impact of different ethnic, religious, and racial backgrounds, of membership in a minoritised 1 1We use the term (ethnic) minoritised not as a distinction with numerical proportions but rather related to societal po…
