Social Media Dreaming: Youth Resistance and Reimagining Inclusion in the Context of Nationalist Integration Regimes

In this article we examine how linguistically and racially minoritized youth in Danish schools turn to TikTok to imagine possibilities of belonging and inclusion. Drawing from ethnographic data collection in two Danish high schools and follow-up interviews with youth, we consider the role of social media in students’ desires to create schoolwide Culture Days in their schools. We consider social platforms as potentially liberatory spaces that allow young people to challenge nationalist regimes and offer up more-inclusive visions of integration.
