Course content

The course gives students insight into key aspects of today's Norway in the fields of gender equality and diversity. The course has both a historical component that introduces students to key changes and processes back in time, and a contemporary component where they are presented with key topics from that societal debate. Although the main focus is on Norway, emphasis is placed on seeing Norway as part of an international community.

Learning outcome

Students of this academic course have knowledge on:

  • how equality and diversity play out in different areas of society
  • central historical happenings and processes in these fields
  • how Norway and Norwegian culture and practice is positioned and related to other countries and societies

Students of this academic course have skills in:

  • acquiring research-based knowledge on relevant aspects of society
  • discussing relevant questions of current interest

Learning methods and activities

The course is compulsory for all master students in equality and diversity. The teaching activities include lectures, group work and individual assignments.
