The hierarchy of knowledge systems in Norwegian education - Abstract

This session includes three paper presentations, exploring encounters between diverse knowledge systems in formal education in Norway. The first paper divulges how the Norwegian state has suppressed Sea Sámi language, culture and knowledge system through the widespread use of boarding schools. The second paper explores how formal schooling shapes and is shaped by contemporary Western ideas about children, childhood and ‘correct’ upbringing, marginalizing alternative knowledge systems among ethnic minority children and distancing them from their familial background. The third paper explores female minority academic’s encounters with the Norwegian university system. The narratives provide anecdotes of exclusion and discrimination, suggesting a white and male norm as an ideal.
