Marginaalin ääni perusasteen jälkeisen koulutuksen kehittämisessä: Kuurojen ja huonokuuloisten opiskelijoiden kaksi koulutussukupolvea
2006
”Ruotsalaisten ja yhdysvaltalaisten tutkimusten mukaan kuurojen ja huonokuuloisten aikuisten koulutustaso, työllisyystilanne ja sosiaalinen asema ovat muuttuneet sukupolvesta toiseen siirryttäessä. Koulutus on ollut tärkeä tekijä sosiaalisen aseman muutoksessa. Näin ei vielä ole tapahtunut oppimisyhteiskunnan mallimaassa, Suomessa”, aiheesta väitellyt Elina Lehtomäki kirjoittaa. nonPeerReviewed
The Marginalisation of Finely Tuned Semiotic Practices and Misunderstandings in Relation to (Signed) Languages and Deafness

AbstractWhen people draw on the available modal resources (e.g. gestures) in specific contexts over time, those resources come to display regularities. The more a community uses and regulates those resources, the more fully and finely articulated their regularities and patterns become.

This paper discusses the way semiotic resources and practices, i.e. social actions with a history, used by sign language signers in visually oriented communities, as well as the research in such domains, have been marginalised. The paper reflects some of the main reasons for such ma…
As Capable as Other Students: Tanzanian Women with Disabilities in Higher Education
2015
Globally, persons with disabilities are underrepresented in higher education. In sub-Saharan Africa, where opportunities for higher education are especially limited, women are unlikely to continue their education. This research investigates women in Tanzanian higher education with the double marginalisation of being a woman and having disabilities. The women were interviewed on what factors enabled access and participation for their educational success. A thematic analysis of qualitative data was applied. All of the women interviewed were motivated to complete their degrees. Key enabling factors were encouragement from their families and previous teachers, full participation in student life…
Acculturation Orientations among Russian Youth in Finland
2023
Despite the fact that much academic attention has been directed to the acculturation of immigrants in Finland, the need to more fully understand how immigrants cope with acculturation is timely. Since the Russian-speaking immigrants represent the biggest immigrant group in Finland, this chapter explores the acculturation orientations among Russian immigrant youth approached from the angle of the festive culture. The findings are based on the data of ethnographic observation and qualitative interviews (n 16) conducted in the central part of Finland. To capture the nuances of dynamic acculturation experiences, the authors applied a bottom-up methodological approach which gives voice to young …
