Pellon pientareelta akateemisiin sfääreihin: opettajuuden rakentuminen ja muuttuminen sotienjälkeisessä Suomessa opettajien omaelämäkertojen valossa
2007
From the field to the academic sphere how teachers professional identities and roles have changed in post-war Finland This study explores teacher autobiographies. The span of the writings extends mainly from the Second World War to the new millennium. The autobiographers are mostly elementary and secondary school teachers in Finland, although there are a few who have worked in vocational schools, polytechnic institutes or one of the various adult education centres. The researcher is aware of the diversity among those educational institutions and their teachers, but wanted to concentrate on similarities rather than differences. The autobiographers have been explored with four different resea…
An Oral History of Programming Practices: Gender and Age Dynamics and Digital (Dis)Engagement Among Computer Programmers in Finland
2015
Since the 1980s, educational policies in many countries have aimed at improving the computer literacy and programming competencies of the population. Over the same period, the possibilities that people have seen regarding programming and everyday programming practices have emerged as an area of strong interest within historical scholarship. The paper contributes to these discussions by drawing on techniques of oral history to focus on programming hobbies and practices in Finland. Examining data from a massive survey of computer hobbyists (N = 1,453) and their recollections about personal computer use (largely during the 1980s), the paper gathers new information on what leads to people’s pur…
Kokemuksia mielisairaalasta : muistoihin kaivertuneet tilat
2022
Suomessa psykiatrinen hoito on ollut pitkään hyvin laitoskeskeistä, ja mielisairaalat ovat kuuluneet monin tavoin suomalaisten elämään. Kokemuksia mielisairaalasta valottaa historian, kulttuurisen mielenterveystutkimuksen ja taiteellisen tutkimuksen keinoin sitä, miten mielisairaalat muistetaan. Millaisia tunteita ja ruumiillisia muistoja liittyy sairaalassa vietettyyn aikaan? Millaisena 1930-luvun potilas koki mielisairaalan, ja miten potilaat kertovat sairaalassa kohtaamastaan pakosta ja väkivallasta? Millainen sairaalakokemus on jättänyt hyvät ja lämpimät muistot? Monitieteinen teos perustuu ainutlaatuiseen muistitietoaineistoon, joka avaa uusia näkökulmia mielisairaaloiden arkeen, histo…
“LATVIA WILL ALWAYS BE MY HOME”: LATVIAN EMIGRANTS IN SWEDEN AFTER 1991 IN THE LATVIAN NATIONAL ORAL HISTORY COLLECTION
2020
Latvians are one of the most mobile European nations. Latvian migration to Sweden has a long history. After the II World War, more than 4,000 people moved from Latvia to Sweden, fleeing Soviet power. The second wave of immigration to Sweden began with the restoration of Latvian independence in 1991 and continues to this day. Both of these waves of migration are documented in the Latvian National Oral History collection. This article analyzes life-story interviews with expatriates in Sweden after the restoration of independence and explores how the migrants themselves describe their experiences in their new home country, their reflections on Latvians, Latvianness, and the preservation of nat…

Magny-sur-Tille (Côte-d’Or). 9 rue du Château [notice archéologique]
2019
L’opération de diagnostic archéologique « 9, rue du Château » à Magny-sur-Tille s’est déroulée du 12 au 14 février 2018. La principale occupation détectée lors de l’opération consiste en une maison forte de la période moderne, déjà largement documentée par les sources écrites et planimétriques anciennes ainsi que par un diagnostic réalisé en 2007 avant la construction d’une maison individuelle. Le quart SO de l’établissement a été appréhendé. Trois phases ont pu être mises en évidence.
Peer interaction and pioneering organizational form adoption : A tale of the first two for-profit stock exchanges
2021
Building on a historical case study on the first two stock exchanges to adopt the now globally dominant for-profit organizational form, the Stockholm Stock Exchange in 1993 and the Helsinki Stock Exchange in 1995, we argue that interaction among socially proximate peers contributes to pioneering organizational form adoption within an industry, particularly when such forms are introduced by established organizations. Peer interaction can induce a search for technically efficient organizational forms through the sharing of collective experiences, the establishment of collective assumptions, and a joint search for solutions. Together, these factors contribute to the legitimization of novel or…
Structural Correspondence Between Organizational Theories
2021
AbstractOrganizational research constitutes a differentiated, complex and fragmented field with multiple contradicting and incommensurable theories that make fundamentally different claims about the social and organizational reality. In contrast to natural sciences, the progress in this field can’t be attributed to the principle of truthlikeness where theories compete against each other and only best theories survive and prove they are closer to the truth and thus demonstrate scientific knowledge accumulation. We defend the structural realist view on the nature of organizational theories in order to demonstrate that despite the multiplicity of isolated and competing explanations of organiza…
Ayuda técnica en tiempos de crisis: la brucelosis en los programas país para España de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (1951-1972) = Technical as…
2018
La brucelosis fue uno de los más importantes problemas de salud en la España de la postguerra civil y en los años posteriores. El objetivo del estudio fue reconstruir los primeros programas que la OMS puso en marcha en este país, para abordar dicho problema, entre 1951 y 1972 y sus consecuencias. La presencia de consultores y expertos de la OMS de la máxima autoridad científica en el campo de la brucelosis, como Sandford Elberg o Martin Kaplan, fue decisiva en dos aspectos al menos, en primer lugar, para poder disponer de una mirada externa que permitiera conocer la realidad de la situación sanitaria española en el tema del control de dicha zoonosis y, en segundo lugar, para la puesta en ma…
