In the first case I identify struggles over the view of equality as freedom vs. results, what the state should fund, as well as contesting about whether equality is still relevant in a Danish context. In the second case I identified arguments about whether good research can be political, as well as fear of it becoming dogmatic or even... (More)
This thesis investigates two cases of public debate regarding critical knowledge production: the debate on activist research in 2021 and the debate about Kvinfo in 2017. Drawing upon a theoretical framework using notions such as Nordic gender exceptionalism, femonationalism and anti-gender movement, as well as feminist theories of science, I investigate the argumentation taking place in opinion articles. In the first case I identify struggles over the view of equality as freedom vs. results, what the state should fund, as well as contesting about whether equality is still relevant in a Danish context. In the second case I identified arguments about whether good research can be political, as well as fear of it becoming dogmatic or even totalitarian. Common to the cases are arguments regarding being too political as well as protecting democracy and freedom, albeit being taken on by different parts of the debate. (Less)
