Abstract: Abstract In my early days as a researcher in Norway, when I was frequently confronted with a lack of response to my communication overtures, I experienced a fair bit of anxiety and confusion. Was I being rude? Should I be phrasing my emails in a different way? Was I wasting my time in trying to do research in Norway? Worse, was I experiencing racism? When you are brown skinned, this is a thought that occurs very frequently when something seems to be off mark in social interactions. The correct answer, of course, was, ‘None of the above’.
