• Resumen

  • This chapter presents a purposive reflection on how anti-Gypsyism, as a form of structural racism that targets Romani people, can be dealt with within higher or university education. It assumes that one of the key forms of anti-Gypsyism is the epistemic violence that is exercised by the denial or obliteration of Roma history and culture. One of the spaces in which this denial becomes evident on a daily basis is higher education, where some Romani university students claim to be unable to recognize any references to their culture and heritage. With the aim of contributing to the design of conceptual tools to help put an end to this situation, the chapter explores different approaches within post-colonial theory, draws comparisons with other international cases, and reviews some proposals, both international and Spanish, that can serve as an inspiration for the development of a response to this challenge.
