‪This article questions the formation of dominant positions of women who have experienced student migration between Denmark and its former colony, Greenland. Enrolling in Danish higher education and getting into a relationship with a Danish partner allows Greenlandic students to acquire socially valued resources (academic titles, but also ways of being or speaking) that recompose their social position. Focusing on socialization at the domestic level and in marital mixing, the article shows that the writing of ascending sociodicy by this type of migration is nevertheless intertwined with the reaffirmation of the order of gender, and comes by a staking of the racial position,‪ through the confrontation with the norm of whiteness, even in private life.
