Professional agency in a university context: Academic freedom and fetters
2020
Professional agency is an urgent topic in academic contexts, albeit relatively unexplored, and elaborated with contradictory conclusions on its extent and characteristics. To contribute to the discussion, this multimethod study investigated professional agency within a Finnish university. We utilised questionnaire data and interviews to explore agency, as manifested in influencing at work, developing work practices, and negotiating professional identity. We found that overall, these three dimensions of agency were manifested fairly substantially, and in a similar manner among the academic staff. The study further emphasises the social nature of professional agency, and presents theoretical …

Struggles for moral value and the reproduction of gendered and racialised hierarchies in online discussions of violence
2019
The article examines online discussions in Finland that focus on violence committed by Finnish women, on one hand, and non-white migrant men, on the other. Drawing on the perspective of sociology of value, the article illustrates how these discussions function as sites of struggles over moral worth in a contemporary context characterised by crises of both male and white hegemony. The authors suggest that, through the discussions, these current crises are projected on migrant men and certain groups of women, who thereby become construed as morally reprehensible. The analysis sheds light on processes of (re-)legitimating the moral virtue historically attached to both masculinity and whitenes…
Cuidado y responsabilidad: de Hans Jonas a Carol Gilligan
2019
El objetivo de este trabajo es situar la ética del cuidado en contexto de las éticas de la responsabilidad. Para ello analizamos la orientación hacia el cuidado en las éticas de la responsabilidad mostrando la transición de una responsabilidad limitada por el cálculo consecuencialista en la actividad política, a una responsabilidad integral exigida por la preservación de la naturaleza ante los desafíos de la ciencia y la técnica. Interpretamos la aportación de Carol Gilligan en términos de «provocación » a la ética contemporánea para que el cuidado no sea únicamente una categoría sentimental o afectiva sino una categoría con la que reconstruir reflexivamente la justicia social. Esta interpr…
Le commissioni di ricorso nel sistema di giustizia dell'Unione europea
2020
Le commissioni di ricorso nel diritto dell’Unione europea sono organi amministrativi, incaricati di risolvere controversie nei settori di competenza degli Uffici, Agenzie ed Autorità presso cui sono strutturate. Esercitano una sicura attività giustiziale, rafforzata dal carattere del loro intervento, che è pregiudiziale rispetto all’ordinaria tutela giurisdizionale. L’interesse per il tema è determinato anche dall’orientamento della giurisprudenza, esaminato nel volume. È invero prevalsa l’interpretazione della c.d. “continuità funzionale”, secondo cui le commissioni di ricorso svolgerebbero la stessa attività degli organi di prima istanza, accentuando gli aspetti amministrativi, a discapit…
Feminisme neoliberal: un oxímoron?
2018
Neoliberal Feminism: An Oxymoron? Resum: En el present escrit tractem d’aproximar-nos al concepte de “feminisme neoliberal” per tal d’identificar-ne les principals caracteristiques i contradiccions. Aixi doncs, l’objectiu principal que ens plantegem tracta de discernir si es possible, atenent al context actual de desenvolupament del moviment feminista en un marc neoliberal, parlar de “feminisme neoliberal”, o si pel contrari, es tracta d’un concepte que es en si mateix un oximoron. Partint del sentit de transformacio social cap a la justicia intrinsec al moviment feminista, tractarem de veure com la logica neoliberal ha condicionat o influenciat en aquest moviment en l’actualitat. Alhora es…

Nudge for justice : An ERP investigation of default effects on trade-offs between equity and efficiency
2020
Default options are an increasingly common tool used by organizations, managers, and policymakers to guide individuals’ behavior. We wondered whether the known preference for default options could constitute a nudge to achieve more equitable or more efficient results. Combining with event-related potentials, we found that both the default option and distributive justice contributed significantly to decision-making. The N200s and P300s were extracted using the tensor decomposition, which showed superiority in terms of capturing multi-domain features. The results demonstrated that greater brain activity associated with conflict monitoring was elicited in the trade-off between equity and effic…
New Materialist Explorations into Language Education
2023
This open access book analyzes language education through a socio-material framework. The authors revisit their position as researchers by decentering themselves and humans in general from the main focus of research activities and giving way to the materialities that are agentive but often overlooked parts of our research contexts and processes. Through this critical posthumanist realism, they are able to engage in research that sees society as an ethical interrelationship between humans and the material world and explore the socio-materialities of language education from the perspectives of material agency, spatial and embodied materiality, and human and non-human assemblages. Each chapter…
Sustainable Food Consumption Practices: Insights into Consumers’ Experiences
2021
In recent years, the increasing consumer concern towards food safety, environmental sustainability and social justice issues have stimulated new consumption practices more oriented towards social, economic, and environmental sustainability [1–3]. This includes the growing consumers’ preference for organic food, local food, and other sustainable food and beverage consumption (Contribution 1) [ 4], as well as the spread of alternative distribution chains, which emphasise the importance of local food productions [ 5 ], the short-distance transportation of food, and the direct relationship between consumers and producers, although, as Kwil and colleagues (Contribution 2) highlighted in this Spe…
