The Danish organisation Mino Danmark recently hosted a conversation (in Danish) on race, discrimination, and the media. The converstation featured myself, my daughter Tess Skadegaard Thorsen (Phd in media and representation), and founder of the first Danish intersectional educational institution, Mica Oh.

In this English speaking program, I discuss structural discrimination and racism with Bashy Quraishy. Bashy is a household name in Danish anti-racist activism, and his talk show for Channel Copenhagen is one of the first to comprehensively cover the topic.

In 2020 the Daily Herald interviewed me about the denial of racism in regard to the brutal torture and murder of a young, black Danish man by two white Danish men with ties to far right racist groups.
Akademiker Bladet
In this expert interview with a national magazine for academics, I discuss the importance of acknowledging discrimination in the workplace, and suggest some ways to address discrimination and racism.

In this program, I talk about some of the reasons racism and discrimination often go unrecognized. In particular, the program focuses on the Bornholm murder case and how racism was not considered an extenuating circumstance.
Berlingske Tidende
In this article for a national newspaper, I write about how racism and discrimination are not always intentional, and how they can exist within friendships and well-intentioned exchanges.
Dr.Dk News
Sometimes people just want practical ways to deal with racism and discrimination. In this interview with the main Danish broadcasting channel, I suggest four things we can do to reduce racism.

In this opinion piece, “Microaggressions, colourblind racism and racialization,” I write about some central terms -and misunderstandings - relevant to discrimination and racism in Danish contexts.

In this interview for the leading Danish scientific journalism site, I define and discuss structural discrimination and related terms, and how these have relevance in the Danish and Nordic context.
bupl

Politiken
In this interview in national Danish newspaper, Politiken, I suggest that we stop asking whether racism exists in Denmark and instead focus on how it is expressed. In it, I explain how Denmark remains somewhat out of touch with the challenges it faces in regard to racism and discrimination.
