What is it about?
In this text, I will critically analyze some of the ongoing research on current Holocaust education in Norway. I will also focus on my research on inclusion and equal education. Lately, I have been reflecting on why I have some misgivings around my research and others in this field. By using autoethnographical narrative inquiry, my memory will come into contact with my professional life. I think of it as using the feeling of concern as a critical lens.

Why is it important?
By addressing my strong reaction to the conference on prejudice in this article, I have managed to explore a concern that arose in me. By using an autoethonographical text in a narrative inquiry to understand the phenomenon, I have challenged both my research on diversity and inclusion, and existing research on Holocaust education. Working in such a way, where I use my experience and concern as a tool for analysis, is both challenging and exciting. It shows a path for further research in the field of inclusion. It challenges the existing echo chamber within research. It challenges my understanding of the filed, and my prejudices.
Perspectives
I can argue that working further with an academic concern and by using the concern in the analysis, has helped me to reach a turning point in my own research. I will continue to challenge existing theories and try to seek answers by examining the field from other points of view than what I and large parts of the research field have done before.
