How and Why to Start and Run a SIGCHI Local Chapter
2015
There is a vast and increasing interest towards local HCI communities around the globe and in particular on geographical areas in which HCI has only recently started to gain increasing interest by local industries as well as academic institutions. A SIGCHI Local Chapter is one of the ways a local HCI community can organize and get visibility and support for their activities. However, many active volunteers in this field might not be aware of this possibility. The main goal of the Chapters' SIG in CHI'15 is to inform interested parties of SIGCHI Local Chapters and to find ways in which SIGCHI could better support local HCI communities with their various needs all over the world.
Exercising exclusions: Space, visibility, and monitoring of the exercising fat female body
2019
The author’s aim is to inspect the position of the fat (female) body in the field of exercise. Specifically, the author is interested in fat women’s experiences of their treatment while exercising in public, and argues that, in particular, public spaces for exercise, such as gyms and swimming pools, are currently discursively and concretely constructed as “exclusive” spaces for the normative bodied. Bodies that are deemed non-normative, such as fat bodies, are often made either invisible or intolerable in the discourse of physical activity and exercise. Consequently, public spaces for exercise such as gyms or swimming pools are seen as out of bounds for non-normative bodies and this is refl…
The International SoleTM of Finnish Higher Eduction: A Virtual Vanishing Act
2011
This participative inquiry critiques recent management trends in the Finnish higher education system. The six authors, presently working in three Finnish universities, focus on strategic internationalization policy to highlight the argument. Global trends in internationalization are introduced, followed by an experienced-based meta-analysis, drawing on several recent studies by the authors. This analysis points to significant challenges and blind spots that exist- well hidden- alongside the Finnish higher education system’s best features. The increasing use of ICT-based management routines are called into question with respect to higher education practices, capacity and linked societal chal…
Does Finland Need Raciolinguistics?
2017
A growing number of applied linguists and language educators in the US/North American context advocate for and from a scholarly perspective which views language issues in relation to racial issues and vice versa. The emergent field of raciolinguistics highlights the relationships between language and race/racism and has brought about research that investigates their intersections. Should scholars in Finland adopt (and adapt) such an approach to scholarly work? Three Finland-based scholars explore this question in a question ("prompt") - response format.
Strengthening Institutional Isomorphism in Development NGOs? Program Mechanisms in an Organizational Intervention
2017
Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in international development struggle between being actors in the mainstream or representatives of alternatives to it. However, many NGOs all over the world align with the mainstream and are increasingly similar to each other. This homogenization results from institutional isomorphism, which is affected by their aspirations to be legitimate vis-á-vis the international field. Consultancies are among the main practices to promote normative isomorphism, but little is known about their micro-level dynamics. Drawing on the notion of program mechanisms in realistic evaluation, we scrutinize how external facilitators in organizational development processes enab…
Journalistisen osaamisen soveltuminen viestinnän työtehtäviin
2017
Tässä pro gradu -tutkielmassa selvitettiin, miten journalistinen osaaminen soveltuu viestinnän työtehtäviin. Tutkimusongelman taustalla oli journalistien siirtyminen viestinnän töihin muun muassa mediamaiseman murroksen seurauksena. Alanvaihto näkyi myös ammattijärjestöjen luvuissa; Journalistiliitossa jäsenmäärä oli laskenut, ProComissa ja Viesti ry:ssä puolestaan noussut. Tutkimuksen teoreettisena pohjana toimi Bourdieun kenttäteoria, jonka avulla pyrittiin ymmärtämään, mitä tapahtuu, kun journalistinen ja viestinnällinen kenttä risteävät. Kenttäteoria auttoi myös havainnollistamaan, miten entiset journalistit kerryttivät kulttuurista pääomaa, tässä tapauksessa viestinnällistä osaamistaan…

An Evaluation Model for Social Work with Substance Abusers
2016
In this article, the research topic is to develop an evaluation model for social work with substance abusers. It is studied by presenting an example of how the evaluation process could be carried out in practice. The study has been implemented with the Department of Social Services and Health Care’s Centre for Recovering Substance Abusers in Finland (RSA Centre). The term “evaluation model” refers to a way of collecting client follow-up information and the way the information is used to develop social work practices. Firstly it is described, how the evaluation model was created at the RSA Centre. Secondly, some results are lifted up to show, what kind of information were used. Finally, it i…
Eriarvoisuus ja luottamus 2000-luvun taitteen Suomessa : bourdieulainen näkökulma
2006
Taloudelliset, kulttuuriset ja sosiaaliset resurssit jakautuvat Suomessa epätasaisesti. Suomalaiset sijoittuvat pääomiensa suhteen, niin pääomalajeittain kuin kaikkien pääomien kokonaisomistuksessa, eriarvoisiin asemiin, eriarvoisuutta ja luottamuksen käsitteitä tutkinut Sanaksenaho toteaa.Huono-osaisuus on kaikkien pääomien yhtäaikaisen hallinnan näkökulmasta hyväosaisuutta selvästi kasautuvampaa. Sosiologisissa keskusteluissa viime vuosina esiin nostettuja ajatuksia luokkien kuolemasta tai niiden merkityksen suuresta vähenemisestä, ei Sanaksenahon mukaan voida pitää vakavasti otettavina luokkateoreettisina kysymyksinä.Tulojen muodossa olevaa taloudellista pääomaa on miehillä ja lapsettomi…
