Abstract

Abstract- English
In this essay, we reflect on and share our experiences with a university campaign for solidarity with anti-racism struggles around the world at Roskilde University (RUC, Denmark). We situate the initiative in the broader context of Danish universities as racialised institutions. We recount previous initiatives for anti-racist and diversity-focused campaigns on campus, and then unfold the events around the solidarity campaign of 2020 and after. We end with an assessment of where we stand now, insisting on the need to continue to crack walls and push doors.
