Lecture by Lovette Jallow: ‘Credibility, Proximity, and the Nordic Gaze’
Lovette Jallow, Peer Review‘Credibility, Proximity, and the Nordic Gaze’ How Black knowledge is validated or dismissed, and how proximity to whiteness shapes that decision.
This lecture examines how credibility is assigned in Nordic cultural spaces through tone expectations, demands for legibility, and institutional neutrality as performance. It maps how professionalism operates as a racialised sorting mechanism and offers a framework for recognising extraction disguised as interpretation.
The lecture will be held in English. The event is free and open for all, no pre-registration needed.
