Intervening in domestic violence : interprofessional collaboration among social and health care professionals and the police

2021

Encountering domestic violence victims, perpetrators and witnesses in the multiprofessional fields of health and social care and policing includes various challenges. Each professional group perceives domestic violence from its own perspective, linked to its position in the field, core tasks, institutional practices and organizational structures. In this study, we examine interprofessional collaboration among Finnish social and health care professionals and police officers, focusing on the practices and conceptions concerning domestic violence interventions. The data consists of 16 focus group interviews, involving a total of 67 interviewees from social and health care professions and the p…

Conditions of cultural citizenship: intersections of gender, race and age in public debates on family migration

2015

This article analyses problem framings in public debates on family migration in Finland. The study focuses on the less-examined category of age and how it intersects with gender, race and religion. We examine the discursive context within which parliamentarians and the media negotiate questions of migration policies, belonging and citizenship. Our analysis identifies problem framings by combining frame analysis with the ‘What is the problem represented to be?’ approach, which understands policies as problematizations. We found that the debates held up the rather common notion of vulnerable women and children as groups that tighter family migration policies protect. The debates excluded cert…

Disaster Risk Reduction for All? Understanding Intersectionality in Disaster Situations

2021

When designing digital services for citizens in a disaster situation, the diversity of its audience and their particular needs are not always sufficiently taken into account. Variables like digital equipment available, environment, disabilities, socio-economic status, etc., play a significant role in people’s ability to access and exchange important information through digital means. In this paper, we will examine some factors that lead to this inequality, and we see that they tend to boil down to a lack of awareness or focus on the diversity of the population, and this affects not only people with disabilities, but also other disadvantaged groups. More broadly, we will examine this in term…

"""Fluidity and flexibility of """"belonging"""": Uses of the concept in contemporary research"""

2016

Studies framing “belonging” as a key focus and a central concept of research have increased significantly in the 2000s. This article explores the dimensions of belonging as a scholarly concept. The investigation is based on a qualitative content analysis of articles published in academic journals covering a large number of different disciplines. The article poses and answers the following research questions: How is belonging understood and used in contemporary research? What added value does the concept bring to scholarly discussions? In the analysis, five topoi of conceptualizing belonging – spatiality, intersectionality, multiplicity, materiality, and non-belonging – were identified. Afte…

Compensating inequalities in secondary education in France: studies from the PISA, CEDRE and TALIS surveys

2017

The fight against educational inequality is one of the foundational principles of education in France. Implementing equal opportunity and the fight against social and geographical inequality are inscribed in the first article in the Code of Education. However, educational inequality persists and has continued to increase these past years. Using data sets from threedifferent international and national evaluations (PISA, Cedre, and TALIS), this dissertation seeks to bring a new perspective on the reduction of inequality for students enrolled in secondary education in France.

Il femminismo islamico in Egitto. Donne, religione e giustizia di genere

2019

نسوية إسلامية، جندر، مساواة، اميمة أبو بكر، مصر La lotta per l’uguaglianza di genere coinvolge donne di tutte le parti del mondo. Una delle manifestazioni di questa mobilitazione globale è il femminismo islamico. Si tratta di un appello aperto che vuole unire donne che si battono per penetrare le mura del discorso religioso dominato dagli uomini. Questo libro racconta l’esperienza delle femministe islamiche con focus sul contesto egiziano e sulla voce di Omaima Abou-Bakr. La ricerca e l’azione di questa studiosa e femminista dimostrano il potenziale esplosivo che le donne musulmane portano con sé in quanto soggetti attivi capaci di produrre conoscenza religiosa alternativa favorevole alla g…

Justice et inégalités: un amendement à la théorie de John Rawls

1992

National audience; On se demande si les principes de justice de Rawls ne sont pas exagérément inégalitaires, malgré leur côté "juste". On examine donc ce qu'il advient de l'optimum de Rawls, le maximin, quand de l'aversion pour l'inégalité" apparaît. Le maximin consiste à se placer sur un certain point de la courbe d'efficience, en admettant une certaine dose d'inégalité, pourvu que l'on donne le maximum possible aux plus défavorisés. On tient compte d'externalités en reprenant la notion d'envie sous la forme d'une aversion pour l'inégalité, essentiellement de la part des plus défavorisés. On ne peut plus raisonner sur la courbe frontière des rémunérations possibles et on démontre la validi…

TOURISM, CHARITY, AND FATHERS’ FUNDRAISING STRATEGIES FOR THEIR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION ON THE KENYAN COAST

2018

Increasing empirical evidence shows that child-raising and children’s formal education are influenced by and embedded in cross-border processes and constellations. In Kenya’s South Coast region, widespread support for children’s education is taking place through the long-term relationships local men and women are establishing with tourists from the global North. In this regard, seemingly casual beach encounters initiated by local fathers — who invite western tourist acquaintances to visit their villages and homes — have become a common parental strategy for engaging with tourists who have the potential to become sponsors for their children. In this article we look at the social, economic, a…

Lisää taitoja ja mahdollisuuksia varhaiskasvatukseen: Tavoitteena tasa-arvoisempi ja kielitietoisempi varhaiskasvatus

2021

Kasvatuksellisen ja koulutuksellisen tasa-arvon toteutuminen monikielistyvässä Suomessa edellyttää entistä kielitietoisempaa varhaiskasvatusta (Puukko ym., 2019). Monikulttuurisuuden kohtaaminen on arvioitu yhdeksi keskeisimmäksi varhaiskasvatuksen tulevaisuuden osaamistaidoksi (Karila ym., 2013), ja monikielisyyden lisääntyminen haastaa ja kannustaa kehittämään entistä sensitiivisempiä, vuorovaikutuksellisia pedagogisia käytänteitä (Karila, 2016). Teimme keväällä 2017 verkkokyselyn, jonka tavoitteena oli kerätä tietoa ja näkökulmia monikielisyyden kohtaamisesta sekä kielitietoisista työskentelytavoista suomalaisessa varhaiskasvatuksessa. Kysely oli suunnattu monikielisessä lapsiryhmässä ty…
