Intersectional Perspectives on Equality and Social Justice in Norwegian Higher Education

Vander Tavares is Associate Professor of Education, Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences, Norway.

"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."Carla Ramirez, Associate Professor, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
