dc.description.abstract | This chapter discusses anti-racism education by focusing on how culture is used in
educational discourses in Finland. More and more studies highlight the pervasive use of culture
as a substitute for race, urging scholars to explore how and why cultural claims are made
relevant (Breidenbach & Nyíri, 2009; Piller, 2011). Culture is present in numerous subjects
(e.g. religion, literature, history, languages) and anti-racism education should therefore be
understood from a holistic perspective. This chapter focuses on the Finnish context which is
relevant to examine for two main reasons. First, Finnish school system is globally represented
as high-quality. Second, the new national curriculum, which reflects current ideas and values,
will be applied in August 2016.
Drawing on critical approaches to culture, this chapter (1) looks at limitations of the
way culture is conceptualized within educational discourses, (2) proposes new ways of using
the concept (3) and provides practical examples while considering limitations and challenges
such as hidden curriculum and teachers’ personal values. This chapter will primarily deal with
foreign language education since one of its main objectives, as stated by the new curriculum,
is to “increase cultural diversity and language awareness”1
(Opetushallitus, 2014, p. 219 & p.
349).
Building on intercultural communication and educational research, and using the
experience of one of the authors as a teacher, this study bridges the gap between theoretical
insights and practical implications. With the aim of providing applicable findings, we argue for
a variety of small changes in existing practices rather than the addition of a large anti-racism
programme. | fi |
