Summary This book looks into different forms of social exclusion in different societies or contexts. It is important to note that in some cases, social exclusion is fueled by the deprivation of economic resources, political and social rights. In contrast, social constructs or cultural norms constitute significant factors in other cases. At the subject (macro) level, this book opens up an avenue where researchers from different subjects can look into how central issues of their subject can be understood through the lenses of social exclusion. For example, historical perspectives of social exclusion, sociological perspectives of social exclusion, religiosity and social exclusion, gender perspectives of social exclusion, educational perspectives of social exclusion, etc. At the thematic (micro) level, this book looks into how specific themes like racism, the corona virus pandemic, albinism, media, sexuality and gender intersect with social exclusion. In doing all these, the book also provides a much-needed multidisciplinary and methodological understanding of issues of social exclusion. Aminkeng A Alemanji researches on issues of race, racism, antiracism and antiracism education. His research focuses on developing different strategies of antiracism education in and out of schools. He has also researched Ethnic Profiling in Finland, as well as Hate Crimes in Finland. He is currently the Program Director for the Masters of Social Exclusion at Abo Akademi University. Francis Benyah is currently a PhD candidate in the Study of Religions, Abo Akademi University, Turku, Finland. He has also served as a Visiting Research Fellow in the Minority Research Program of the Abo Akademi University. His research interest focuses on African Pentecostal Christianity with a special interest on how it intersects and interacts with public life in areas such as media, politics, health, and human rights. Martins Kwazema is a Doctoral Candidate in General History at Abo Akademi University, Finland. He has a masters degree in Futures Studies and is involved in research on future literacy. His primary research interests lie in investigating the socio-political and economic history of pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial Africa as well as futures for Africa. He also has research interests in the history of exclusion and inclusion of minorities globally. Marlijn Meijer is a Doctoral Candidate in the Study of Religions at Abo Akademi University in Finland. Her study explores how Ghanaian young adults identifying as sexual minorities negotiate their sexuality and religious identity in everyday life. Her research is part of the Doctoral Training Network for Minority Research and the international research project Young Adults and Religion in a Global Perspective led by professor Peter Nynas.
