At the department, extensive research is conducted from critical and intersectional perspectives across several empirical fields. What unites us is our effort to understand power relations, oppression, and inequality in various ways, often based on an understanding of how different power structures reinforce, weaken, and construct each other in complex and contradictory ways. Examples of the research being conducted include analyses of the visibility and invisibility of inequalities in schools’ equality work, Indigenous and minority issues, as well as the boundaries between paid and unpaid work in both the labor market and the private sphere.
