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.

""Timely and highly needed, this well-written book contextualizes the existence of intersectional differences in Norwegian academia. Intersectional Perspectives sheds light on the invisible reductionism and colonial legacy still embedded in Norwegian higher education. It offers first-hand decolonial critiques of higher education, as well as a profound theoretical understanding of the epistemological foundations of Norwegian academia.""
