Equal access to the top? Measuring selection into finnish academia
2019
In this article, we draw a parallel between equality of opportunity in educational transitions and equality of opportunity in academic careers. In both cases, many methodological problems can be ameliorated by the use of longitudinal rather than cross-sectional data. We illustrate this point by using Finnish full-population register data to follow the educational and academic careers of the 1964–1966 birth cohorts from birth to the present day. We show how the Finnish professoriate is highly selected both in terms of parental background and in terms of gender. Individuals of different backgrounds differ greatly in the likelihood of completing different educational and academic transitions, …
Homing blogs as ambivalent spaces for feminine agency
2017
This article discusses a form of lifestyle blogging where women blog about their homes and everyday lives. In these homing blogs, selfrepresentations are characteristically spatially demarcated within the private sphere of the home. As these repeated representations of women in their homes take place in the public space of the internet, homing blogs work towards naturalizing the home as a women’s sphere. Written and commented on mostly by other women, homing blogs represent a feminine form of self-expression and communication that functions as a discursive expression of ongoing social, economic, and cultural changes in affluent Western societies. In this article, Finnish versions of these h…
Negotiating female judoka identities in Greece : A Foucauldian discourse analysis
2015
Abstract Objectives The objectives of this paper are to trace the discourses through which female Greek judokas articulate their sporting experiences and to explore how they construct their identities through the negotiation of sociocultural beliefs and gender stereotypes. Design This article is based on interview data from a larger ethnographic research with women judo athletes, grounded in a cultural praxis framework. Method Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted during fieldwork in Greece. Interview data were analyzed drawing on a Foucauldian approach to discourse analysis. Results We identified four concepts—biology, gender, femininity, and judo/sport—that were central to unearth…
Harnessing Women’s Potential as a Soft Engine for Growth : Lessons from Contrasting Trajectories between Finland and Japan for Growing Economies
2017
Harnessing the vigor of women’s potential is essential for inclusive economic growth in a digital economy moving toward aging society. This can be a soft engine for sustainable growth substitutable for costly hard investment. While there exists explicit evidence of a virtual cycle between economic growth and gender balance improvement, emerging countries cannot afford to overcome the constraints of low income. Given the foregoing, this paper analyzed possible co-evolution between economic growth, gender balance improvement and digital innovation initiated by information and communication technology (ICT) advancement. Using a unique dataset representing the state of gender balance improvemen…

 Dispositif of creativity, gender and the precarisation of artistic work
 The aim of this article is to open up theoretical perspectives to the research of the status of the artists and especially on its gender analysis. My principal points of references are the writings of a British cultural theorist Angela McRobbie and her concepts of disposi- tif of creativity and postfeminist sexual contract. The Foucauldian concept dispositif of creativity is used to illustrate how the features of artistic working conditions are in uenced by the wider and creativity-emphasizing current of changes taking place in the general sphere of production, therefore making the working con…

Naisurheilujohtajuuden edistäminen olympialiikkeessä vuosina 2000-2010 : sitoutuminen Brightonin tasa-arvojulistukseen
2012
Naisten ja urheilun historia on vaihderikas yli 100 vuotta jatkunut taisteluprosessi, jonka aikana naiset ovat raivanneet tiensä urheilukentille. Kuitenkin vielä 2000-luvulla naisjohtajat ovat harvinainen näky urheilumaailmassa. Naisten aseman kehittäminen urheilussa on ollut 1990-luvun puolivälistä lähtien voimakkaasti esillä kansainvälisessä urheiluliikkeessä. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää, kuinka kansainvälinen olympialiike, eli Kansainvälinen Olympiakomitea (KOK) ja kansalliset olympiakomiteat, on sitoutunut toteuttamaan Brightonin julistuksen urheilujohtajuutta koskevaa periaatetta naisjohtajien aseman ja määrän lisääntymisen kannalta sekä millaisia toimenpiteitä ja resu…
