Notes
I use the phrase ‘minoritised people’ to recognize that such identifications are not ontologically pre-given, but rather that minority status is the result of (contested) social and spatial relations.
The official Bologna Process Website (2007–2010 version) may be accessed at: http://www.ond.vlaanderen.be/hogeronderwijs/bologna/.
The convention outlines the rules by which degrees and higher education programmes are ‘recognised’ across the 47 member states of the Council of Europe and the 46 signatory countries to the Bologna Declaration.
