This study takes its departure from two teachers’ descriptions of challenges and possibilities that they have experienced as conditioning their professional anti-racist actions. The two descriptions are excerpts from qualitative interviews, conducted within a larger research project about teachers’ work to counteract racism, of which this study is a part. The aim of this part study is to contribute with insights about what teachers experience as conditioning their anti-racist actions. This knowledge is of importance for teachers’ didactic choices in their anti-racist work, as well as for school leadership facilitating such work. In the study, racism and anti-racism are understood as enacted practices. Agency, as something achieved and situated, constitutes a central theoretical lens. Therefore, ecological teacher agency conceptions are put to work in the analysis. Tentative findings are presented in the form of teachers’ experiences of conditions for anti-racist action in terms of: 1. Personal experiences over time, 2. Professional experiences over time, 3. National contextual issues, and 4. Local context issues.
