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, …

Vuonna 1995 Irlannin tasavallan hallitus päätti pitää jo toistamiseen kansanäänestyksen avioeron laillistamisesta. Ensimmäistä kertaa kansanäänestys oli pidetty asian tiimoilta vuonna 1986. Tällöin lakiehdotus ei mennyt läpi yli 60 % äänestäessä sitä vastaan. Vuonna 1995 tilanne oli kuitenkin toinen, ja lakiehdotus meni läpi vajaalla 9 000 äänellä. Irlanti oli ollut hyvin konservatiivinen valtio, jonka perustuslaki oli taannut valtion suojelevan perhettä yhteiskunnan tärkeimpänä instituutiona. Tämä johtui valtion ja katolilaisen kirkon hyvin tiiviistä suhteesta. Katolilainen kirkko oli varmistanut asemansa Irlannissa vuonna 1937, jolloin sen erikoisasema kirjattiin perustuslakiin. Tätä ei m…
Equality and Difference in Olympe de Gouges’ Les droits de la femme. A La Reine
2019
This article examines Olympe de Gouges’ demands for the rights of woman in her famous but still understudied work Les droits de la femme. A La Reine [1791]. Particular emphasis is put on analysing how she combines her demand for equality with her conception of sexual difference. The article consists of three parts. The first part gives a brief overview of the demands for the equality of the sexes as they were presented in seventeenth-century France and critically reacted upon in eighteenth-century France, not least by Jean-Jacques Rousseau in his defence of sexual difference. The second and third parts focus on Gouges’ argumentation. First, by analysing how she argues for women’s active cit…

”Ei elämääni lomia mahtunut.” – Naisten muistelukerrontaa palkkatyöstä talvi- ja jatkosotien ja jälleenrakennuksen aikana
2014
My doctoral dissertation examines women’s memory narratives of paid labour during the Winter War (1939–1940) and the Continuation War (1941–1945, including the Lapland War) and in the years of rebuilding in Finland until early 1950s. As an ethnologist, I am interested in the personal level of everyday life and experiences of work. My main interest lies in the meanings women give to paid labour. The focus is on memory narratives, and I am reaching and I aim to bring to light the meanings given to work: what did paid labour mean for women during the war and the time of rebuilding and how do they tell about it decades afterwards? I analyse, for example, the effect of the war on women’s work ex…
Aux antipodes du modèle normatif de la féminité : la femme criminelle dans "Thérèse Raquin" d’Émile Zola et "Thérèse Desqueyroux" de François Mauriac
2020
A woman who killed or intended to kill her husband is the main character in two novels belonging to the Realist movement. Both the protagonists have the same given name: Therese. Zola’s Therese Raquin is a “real” killer, incapable of winning the “physiological” influence of her nervous temperament, her cowardice and hypocrisy, while Mauriac’s Therese Desqueyroux, whose criminal intentions failed, is a mysterious person whose main problem is her incompatibility with her milieu. Both novels show a criminal woman as the opposite of the accepted model of womanliness.
