Turning experience into expertise : technologies of the self in Finnish participatory social policy
2017
This article investigates the micro-level practices of subject-construction in Finnish participatory social policy. Through a governmental ethnography on projects that invite former beneficiaries to become ‘experts-by-experience’ in social welfare organizations, I discern the possibilities for freedom in the participants’ self-construction. By making use of Michel Foucault’s conceptual tools of care of the self and confession, I illustrate how, contrary to the projects’ emancipatory promise of providing the service users the freedom to reconstruct themselves, the projects entail practices that curb the participants’ way of ‘knowing themselves’. They require the service users to reframe thei…

Service-learning in physical education teacher education: towards a critical and inclusive perspective
2020
The purpose of this study was to analyse the impact of service-learning (SL) in physical education teacher education students (PETEs). The PETEs (n = 169) completed one of the editions of a SL program carried out between 2015–2018. This program consisted of designing and leading motor game sessions to facilitate the inclusion of 116 children with special educational needs (SEN).

Uimahallipalveluiden tuottamismallit kuntaorganisaatioissa esimiesnäkökulmasta
2017
Työn tarkoituksena on selvittää uimahallipalveluiden tuottamismalleja kuntaorganisaatioissa. Tutkimuksen kohteena ovat uimahallien hallinto ja laitosteknisten palveluiden tuottamismallit. Laitosteknisillä palveluilla tarkoitetaan kiinteistön ja allastekniikan ylläpitoon liittyvää toimintaa. Tutkimus kohdistuu yhteen palvelutuotannon osaan, uimahallipalveluihin, jotka ovat keskeinen kunnallisten liikuntapalveluiden toiminto. Näin pystyttiin luomaan riittävän syvällinen katsaus yhteen osa-alueeseen, joka kuitenkin kertoo myös laajemmasta kokonaisuudesta. Tutkimusta varten haastateltiin Jyväskylän, Järvenpään, Keravan, Kouvolan, Turun, Tuusulan, Raision ja Urheiluhallit Oy:n (Helsinki) uimahal…
