ahrong yang nissen defends her dissertation on february 2, 2022
What makes race and issues concerning racialization primarily seem a concern for adults? What are the implications of disconnecting race and children ‒ keeping race and racialization from children? Ahrong Yang Nissen's dissertation is dedicated to an investigation of these questions by investigating children’s racialized becoming in a Danish context, and in doing so, by foregrounding the racialized lived experiences in the Danish comprehensive school's middle years.
