Negotiating a transnational career around borders: Women's stories in boundaryless academia
2021
The study aimed to give voice to two women sport scientists' life stories to centralize the challenges and ways of coping their career journeys entailed, and enlighten our understanding of the lived experience and meaning of academic migrating. They shared transnational career stories through interviews and ongoing conversations which we re-story in a creative non-fiction story where we blended the two. Our data collection, analysis and representation were informed by theoretical, methodological and interpretive bricolage. As the creative non-fiction story shows, the academic entrepreneur ideal was somewhat disrupted in the women's lives, as migration experiences, aside from thrills, also i…
Development and first application of the athlete adaptation inventory: An exploratory study
2020
Geographic mobility has become an essential part of athletes’ career development and athletic migration is rapidly increasing. However, research on psychological aspects of athletes’ transnational mobility is lacking in the literature. In this study we describe the development of the Athlete Adaptation Inventory (AAI) and examine its first application in a sample of 143 professional and amateur elite migrant athletes. In summary, results indicate that cultural adaptation challenges were perceived as slightly difficult. However, female athletes reported more difficulties than male athletes in the sport domain, whereas male and team sport athletes reported more challenges in the non-sport dom…
Geosemiotic study of mobility as a communicated item and the use of English in emplaced signs
2013
Globalisoituva maailma nivoutuu monimutkaisella tavalla useiksi sosiaalisiksi tiloiksi ja tässä prosessissa liikkuvuuden kasvulla ja levittäytymisellä on merkittävä osa. Historiallisesti periferiset alueet liittyvät osaksi globaalia maailmaa lentokenttien, rautateiden ja tieverkkojen tuodessa mukanaan ihmisvirtoja, jotka aikaansaavat kulttuurisia ja kielellisiä muutoksia. Keskellä näitä muutoksia ovat sekä liikkuvuutta varten rakennetut ympäristöt, eli mobiilit tilat, että nykyajan globaali kieli, englanti. Tätä taustaa vasten asettuvan tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kartoittaa mobiileja tiloja kommunikatiivisina ympäristöinä tutkimalla näihin tiloihin sijoitettuja tekstejä sekä niiden välity…

International Student Migration in Finland
2021
There is increasing attention on the retention of international students with many stakeholders desiring to keep international students for long-term economic growth. This study examines the factors affecting international students to stay in Finland five years after initial enrolment with particular focus on the role graduation plays in students staying or leaving. Tracking 11 (years) entering cohorts for five years across national (Finland) data registries, we found evidence of an inverse relationship between graduation, degree type, and the probability of staying; higher the degree level of graduation, the decrease in probability an international student stays. We conclude that while gra…
Intra-regional mobility of PhD students in the European Union : the outcomes of region-making policy?
2022
This paper examines the flow of intra-European Union (EU) students for doctoral (PhD) studies to identify reasons for differences in international student mobility and migration (ISM) among member states. Rather than conceptualising intra-EU PhD student ISM only through push–pull forces, we theorise the intra-EU PhD ISM is associated with relative levels of national resources or levels of capital. We investigate the intra-EU PhD ISM through dyadic country pairings allowing the use of Gravity models to estimate the effect of variables associated with stocks of capital ascribed to a country to the change in the number of PhD students. The findings of this study indicate while there is asymmet…

Internationalisation at home in Finnish HEIs : a comprehensive approach is needed
2020
International mobility continues to be a priority focus area for internationalising higher education. According to the European Association for International Education (EAIE) Barometer survey, the most common international priority activities included international student mobility, international student recruitment and international staff mobility (Sandström & Hudson, 2018). However, there is rising awareness that international mobility only serves a small percentage of students and there is a need for non-mobile students and staff to gain international and intercultural competencies. This article highlights and explores the findings of a Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture funded pr…
