Between ideologies and realities: Multilingual competence in a languagised world

2016

AbstractRecent developments in sociolinguistics and applied linguistics have put emphasis on the contrast between ideologies of distinct ‘languages’ and the multifaceted reality of linguistic practices. This article argues that recent usage-based reconceptualisations of the notions of competence and repertoire can help paint a more complex picture of the relationship between monolingual ‘ideologies’ and diverse linguistic ‘realities’. Drawing on data from interviews with highly proficient adult speakers of Finnish as a second language, I explore some aspects of how speakers’ competence can be understood as shaped by language use, and what role linguistic ideologies, social expectations and …

“Languaging the worker : Globalized governmentalities in/of language in peripheral spaces”

2016

In the introduction to the special issue “Languaging the worker: globalized governmentalities in/of language in peripheral spaces”, we take up the notion of governmentality as a means to interrogate the complex relationship between language, labor, power and subjectivity in peripheral multilingual spaces. Our aim here is to argue for the study of governmentality as a viable and growing approach in critical sociolinguistic research. As such, in this introduction, we first discuss key concepts germane to our interrogations, including the notions of governmentality, languaging, peripherality and language worker. We proceed to map out five ethnographically and discourse-analytically informed ca…

Introduction to the special issue: On the transgressive nature of translanguaging pedagogies

2018

As translanguaging gains traction in language education, its political and ideological implications are becoming central considerations to researchers and practitioners. In this introductory article to the special issue, “Translingual and Multilingual Pedagogies” for the EuroAmerican Journal of Applied Linguistics and Languages, we provide a conceptual point of departure on the notion of translanguaging by revisiting Li Wei’s (2011) threefold description of its prefix trans- (i.e., transcending, transformative, transdisciplinary), which we expand by adding a new definitional element, transgressive, to reflect our understanding of translanguaging as politically charged and disruptive by virt…

Stop the Deficit: Preparing Pre-service Teachers to Work with Bilingual Students in the United States

2018

This chapter explores the education of bilingual students from an American teacher education perspective. Bilingual students in the United States are often diminished to their student status of “English Language Learner” (ELL). Not only does this ELL designation assume a onesize-fits-all approach to education for and understanding of bilingual children, but the label itself implores a deficit perspective which neither captures nor values bilingual children in the United States. Driven by the goal to model and introduce assets-based pedagogies to our pre-service English as Second Language (ESL) teachers, the main question guiding our work was, as teacher educators, how can we challenge pre-s…

Predicting habitat suitability for Ixodes ricinus and Ixodes persulcatus ticks in Finland

2022

AbstractBackgroundTicks are responsible for transmitting several notable pathogens worldwide. Finland lies in a zone where two human-biting tick species co-occur:IxodesricinusandIxodespersulcatus. Tick densities have increased in boreal regions worldwide during past decades, and tick-borne pathogens have been identified as one of the major threats to public health in the face of climate change.MethodsWe used species distribution modelling techniques to predict the distributions ofI.ricinusandI.persulcatus,using aggregated historical data from 2014 to 2020 and new tick occurrence data from 2021. By aiming to fill the gaps in tick occurrence data, we created a new sampling strategy across Fin…

Ethics in biodiversity conservation : The meaning and importance of pluralism

2022

Addressing the global extent of the current biodiversity crisis requires engaging with the existence of multiple equally legitimate values, but also with diverse ethical perspectives underpinning conceptions of right and wrong actions. However, western monist positions have mostly explicitly or implicitly directed conservation strategies by defining the space of legitimate arguments, overlooking solutions that do not fit neatly the chosen approaches. As ignoring diverse ethical positions leads to injustices and reduces the potential of conserving biodiversity, there is a need to recognise and navigate the ethical landscape. Ethical pluralism may provide opportunities to do so. However, the …

Erot järjestykseen! : Eurovision laulukilpailu, kansallisuus ja televisiohistoria

2006

Eurovision laulukilpailu (euroviisut) on ollut näkyvä osa suomalaista televisiokulttuuria vuodesta 1961 alkaen. Kahden televisiokanavan aikaan se oli suureellinen tapaus arkisen ohjelmiston joukossa ja kiistelty suosikkiohjelma. Nykyisin Eurovision laulukilpailulla ei enää ole samanlaista erikoisasemaa vuotuisessa TV-kalenterissa, mutta se herättää yhä vilkkaita mediakeskusteluja. Niissä kansallisuus on ollut keskeinen huolenaihe. Erot järjestykseen! avaa näkökulman suomalaisen television ja populaarikulttuurin historiaan. Kulttuurintutkimuksen ja feministisen tutkimuksen keinoin tarkastellaan, kuinka Eurovision laulukilpailuun liittyvässä media-aineistossa tuotetaan ja järjestetään eroja. …
