Kotoutumiskoulutuksen opetussuunnitelman perusteet kuvaa tavoitettaan osallisuutta epämääräisesti ja kapeasti
2023
Kotoutumiskoulutuksen uudessa perusteasiakirjassa korostuu osallisuuden käsite. Se jää kuitenkin määrittelemättä: osallisuuteen viitataan sekä kapearajaisesti työmarkkinaosallisuutena että epäsuorasti niin, että käsitteen varsinainen merkitys jää avoimeksi. Tutkimuskirjallisuudessa osallisuus edellyttää laaja-alaista sosiaalis-yhteiskunnallista kuulumista ja yhdenvertaisuutta. nonPeerReviewed

Reframing Gender Equality in Finnish Online Discussion on Immigration: Populist Articulations of Religious Minorities and Marginalized Sexualities
2014
Gender equality is an essential part of Finnish self-understanding. The public discussion on equality does not, however, only focus on gender; it is also used to promote antiimmigration-minded, homophobic opinions.

The main questions are: How is gender equality re-framed in anti-immigration-minded online debate? How are the notions of sexuality and gender fixed in order to oppose immigration? How are gender, sexuality, and immigration articulated intersectionally? The in…

2022
This qualitative study explores the changes that a specific group of knowledge workers – language professionals in Finland – have undergone in their work and how they perceive the meaningfulness of their work as a result. The data presented in this article has been collected through group interviews and is part of a larger data set. To make sense of our data, we use thematic analysis and the framework of meaningful work presented by Rosso et al. For some of our research participants, the factors of meaningful work are present.

Change Talk in Hospital Management Groups
2020
Recent national healthcare reforms have resulted in many changes to healthcare organizations. When social realities are enacted in social interactions, changes also occur in communication through discourses.

Data were collected from 10 hospital meetings, and change-related interactions were explored by analyzing sensemaking and positioning. In the data, change talk took three forms: collaboration, control and confrontation. These forms consisted of change discourses (change as a possibility, concealed cha…
