“…Against this background, we chose to analyse publications on marginalisation from the Nordic Centre of Excellence "Justice through education in the Nordic countries" (NCoE JustEd) (www.justed.org). In international research in this field, central themes are exclusion/inclusion in relation to: social class, gender and sexuality, racism and racialisation, disability and special needs (Bastien & Holmarsdottir, 2015b;Birkelund, 2013;Dykes & Delport, 2017;Keogh, 2008;Liasidou, 2012;Pink & Noblit, 2017;Vincent, 2014). Our analysis focuses on these themes.…”

The purpose of this article is analysis of discursive marginalisation through education in Nordic welfare states. What knowledge do Nordic research discourses produce about marginalisation through education in Nordic welfare states? What are the Nordic contributions to research discourses on marginalisation through education? We apply a discourse theoretical approach and analyse 109 peer-reviewed publications on marginalisation by the Nordic Centre of Excellence "Justice through education in the Nordic countries" (NCoE JustEd) between 2013 and 2017. The publications are from Finland, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. Four critical Nordic research discourses reconceptualise marginalisation in relation to dominant educational discourses on marketisation, Eurocentrism, gender equity and ableism. These Nordic research discourses document discursive effects of the dominant, normalising discourses in terms of stigma, segregation and exclusion of poor, working-class students, non-white and immigrant students and descendants of immigrants, as well as sexual minorities and disabled students. Based on ethical, epistemological and methodological considerations, the critical Nordic research discourses produce knowledge about marginalisation as a relational, intersectional and interdiscursive phenomenon. The critical Nordic research discourses de-and reconstruct knowledge about marginalisation in Nordic welfare states.

“…Existing international and Australia research on LGBT+ teachers in the non‐religious educational system demonstrates that experiences are varied, ranging from acceptance to marginalisation and overt discrimination, harassment and negative health outcomes for LGBT+ educators (Conrad, 2018; Dykes & Delport, 2017; Gray et al, 2016; Moore, 2020; Smith et al, 2008; Tomkins et al, 2019). In particular, LGBT+ teachers encounter ongoing heteronormative expectations and pressure to conform to these expectations that has a range of harmful consequences.…”

Religiously affiliated schools employ a substantial portion of the Australian educational workforce. These religiously affiliated schools are exempt from Australian state‐based anti‐discrimination legislation in varying degrees. This can have a devastating effect on LGBT+ employees. While NSW has broad exemptions to anti‐discrimination legislation, in contrast Tasmanian anti‐discrimination legislation provides very limited exemptions. This paper examines and compares the experiences of ten LGBT+ teachers employed in religiously affiliated schools in Tasmania and New South Wales. The aim of this paper is to document the differing experiences of these LGBT+ teachers, examining whether the distinctive state‐based legislation has an impact on their lives. The small number of cases examined here suggests that the state difference in anti‐discrimination legislation has a significant impact on LGBT+ peoples’ job security and career development.

“…Furthermore, some occupations require a clear separation between work and private life (Bowring & Brewis, 2014), which might encourage a heterosexist gender norm in those workplaces. Additionally, some institutions downplay and marginalize LGBTQþ issues, such as teacher preparation programs that assume heteronormative practices in schools (Dykes & Delport, 2018).…”

In an era of rapid development, the world is showing greater openness towards diversity and inclusiveness. There is also an increasing amount of career-related research that has shed light on the LGBTQ+ population. Still, the literature reports many career issues that concern young LGBTQ+ individuals. The current article aimed to highlight the contributing issues that might impact young LGBTQ+ groups’ career development, mental health, and well-being – in particular, the issues of workplace hostility, the costs of self-identity disclosure, self-identity confusion, and inadequate career counselling and guidance services. These issues are discussed through the lens of three major career theories: Super’s life-span, life-space theory, Gottfredson’s circumscription and compromise theory, and Krumboltz’s social learning theory. The aim was to equip career counsellors with a better understanding of the challenges facing LGBTQ+ youth and to suggest potentially useful interventions.
