WP 3 researchers Anne-Jorunn Berg and Berit Gullikstad, are, together with Anne Britt Flemmen, editors of a new book that has been published in Norway, Likestilte norskheter. Om kjønn og etnisitet.

 This book is about today’s multicultural Norway. Equality and ”norwegianness” is investigated. What does it mean to be (gender-) equal in Norway, and how do you become equal? What does it mean to be Norwegian? How are majority- and minority positions created, negotiated and sustained?

These questions are addressed through analysis of family life, work life and politics. The contributors, among others Elisabet Ljunggren and Tone  Gunn Kristiansen also from WP3, discuss and investigate how intersectionality can be employed as a methodological tool for analysis of the complex entanglement of sex/gender and “race”/ethnicity.

 The book presents various forms of interdisciplinary research in conversation with gender studies, minority and migration studies, second-language research, work-life research and policy analysis. The book is relevant for researchers, teachers and students within many fields and disciplines; anthropology, geography, language science, sociology, race and ethnicity studies, social theory, gender studies, economics, social work and cultural studies.

Parts of the book will be presented at the FEMCIT Open Conference at Birkbeck University of London, in a session that will be chaired by Berit Gullikstad.
