Language is the focal point of this conversation. The titel "Decentering dansk" refers to shifting the focus away from the dominance of traditional Danish language and culture as the central norm, especially in contexts like migration and integration. It involves embracing diverse linguistic and cultural perspectives, questioning the idea of a singular "correct" way to speak or be Danish, and making space for voices and experiences that challenge the traditional narrative.

For this conversation Helena Seiketso Ulrik brings a wealth of experience in language and communication. With her background in teaching English, Danish, Communication, and Philosophy, and her work as an author, Helena offers valuable perspectives on the themes of migration, language and identity. Her academic and practical insights will enrich our exploration of these topics.
