The podcast is created by the researchers in the project “Intersectional Border Struggles and Disobedient Knowledge in Activism”. The project is funded by the Academy of Finland and located at the Swedish School of Social Sciences, University of Helsinki.

#6: Disobedient knowledge in antiracist activism
In the Nordic countries, many social media platforms, activist groups and arts events are organised by Black, Brown and other People of Colour.
