Associate Professor’s Manté Vertelyté’s (CfU) article received KRAKA Award. The article addresses humour, its role in education and as an everyday ‘sense’through which we can understand racism and racialization in education and society as a hole.

The article “Have we lost our sense of humour?! Affective senses of racial joking in Danish school” is published in Social Identities. Manté Vertelyté explores how senses of humour become a matter of the everyday politics of making and remaking race, racialization, whiteness, (intersectional) gender, as well as Danishness It shows how humor as everyday political sense balances between being racially ridiculing and, on the other hand, how humour potentially is transformative and thereby can challenge existing racialized structures and inequalities. Hereby the article gives new insights and is a contribution to understanding the structures of negotiation of power and social identities.
