  In “post-racial” societies, colour-blind racism tends to persist, enabling whiteness to proliferate as part of the governmentally mandated educational fabric. Reviewing studies from 2008 to 2020 in the Norwegian context that utilise critical perspectives on whiteness, this article reveals a growing body of research showing whiteness working through (1) avoidance of race, (2) simultaneous privileging of invisibility and marking of Otherness, (3) institutionalised discourse, (4) embodiments of racialised Othering and (5) researcher positionality. Drawing on these findings, we examine how critical perspectives on whiteness might benefit “post-racial” teacher education and propose potential future educational and research directions relevant to “post-racial” societies.
