‘We are all responsible now’: Governmentality and responsibilized subjects in corporate social responsibility

2014

The corporate social responsibility promise is a fascinating one: companies are able and willing to regulate themselves, and self-regulation is manifested in collaborative efforts that promote individual well-being. Yet, this macro-level promise has a silenced flip side in organizational contexts. We argue that corporate social responsibility has diffused the idea of employee responsibilization into organizational environments, so it entails a dual role for employees: employees become both the objects and the subjects of corporate social responsibility. The primary aim of this article is thus to develop a theoretical understanding that acknowledges the role of individual members of the org…

Dialogue in and as European heritage

2022

In this article, we scrutinize the use and institutionalization of the concept of ‘dialogue’ in the cultural politics of the European Union. Our focus is on how dialogue is understood in the context of the European Union’s flagship heritage action, the European Heritage Label, that aims to strengthen citizens’ sense of belonging to the Union. Since heritage has gained increasing prominence in the European Union international relations, we also discuss how ‘dialogue’ is institutionalized in the European Heritage Label as part of the European Union’s heritage diplomacy. We approach dialogue in the context of the European Heritage Label as a floating signifier; an ideal seldom explicitly defi…

The novice language teacher's guide to survival : dialogue between the new and the experienced language teacher

2017

Aloittelevat opettajat kohtaavat ammatissaan merkittävän määrän haasteita ensimmäisien työvuosien aikana (Blomberg 2009; Heikkinen et al. 2012; Laaksola 2007). Haasteita ovat muun muassa psykologiset aspektit kuten identiteetin muodostaminen ja stressi (Kyriacou 2001; Niemi 1998), sekä ulkoiset tekijät kuten opettajiin kohdistuvat ristiriitaiset odotukset ja alati muuttuva työympäristö (Luukkainen 2005; Niemi 1999). Idea tarjota tukea aloittelevalle opettajalle syntyi kirjoittajien omista kokemuksista ja keskusteluista koskien aloittelevan opettajan asemaa. Monia kollegojamme huolestutti opetusharjoittelujakson pituus, ja moni tuleva aineenopettaja koki, ettei ollut valmis kohtaamaan kielen…

Demokratia, relativismi ja totuuden jälkeinen aika

2020

Totuuden jälkeisenä aikana kuunnellaan enemmän mielipidejohtajia kuin asiantuntijoita. Näyttää kuin totuus ja tieto olisivat vaarassa. Totuuden jälkeinen aika vaatii filosofista analyysiä. Tässä ovat vastakkain realistit ja relativistit. Antirelativistit näkevät relativismia korostavan postmodernismin olevan jopa osasyyllinen totuuden jälkeiseen aikaan. Paitsi että väite on historiallisesti virheellinen, se osoittaa puutteellista ymmärrystä pluralismista. Pluralismia ei voi selittää sillä, että monet ovat väärässä, vaan sillä, että monet ovat erimielisiä hyvillä perusteilla. Näin ajatellaan esimerkiksi näkökulmarelativismissa, joka korostaa totuuden ja tiedon riippuvuutta näkökulmista. Kun …

Ethics, Dialogue and English as a Lingua Franca for ESD in Higher Education

2022

Abstract The urgency for education to participate in the plan of action of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (SD) poses challenges to language education in university language centers. This paper discusses the potential of Higher Education (HE) language center courses to provide students with the knowledge and skills of inclusive, respectful, and equal communication needed in promoting SD and global citizenship. Education for sustainable development (ESD) in language teaching often focuses on integrating the content of SD topics into the language course. This paper focuses on the skills dimension and reports on a case study of a dialogue approach, a pedagogical method that coul…

Transformative Authorship Through Critical Dialogue : Concepts, Theory, and Practice

2021

This conceptual article deals with components and concepts of transformative learning, emphasizing the organization-level perspective on critical reflection. The discussion leans on the concept of transformative authorship and it is argued that it enables authoring processes through which professionals can recognize and recreate their routinized work practices. The aim of the research is to explore how professional experiences are integrated with reflexive, theoretical knowledge through critical dialogue. The authoring process of transformative authorship is illustrated with two complementary case studies from postgraduate health care education. In both cases, the learning tasks were desig…
