Maailman ensimmäinen nainen - Eleanor Rooseveltin roolin ja kirjoitusten poliittisuus My Day - kolumneissa 1936-1941

2013

1930-luvun taitteessa puhjennut maailmanlaajuinen lama koetteli erityisen ankarasti Yhdysvaltoja ja leimasi maan kehitystä toisen maailmansodan puhkeamiseen asti. Franklin Roosevelt toimi maan presidenttinä vuosina 1933–1945 ja pyrki parantamaan ihmisten elinoloja sosiaalipoliittisella New Deal - ohjelmallaan. Hänen rinnallaan julkisuudessa ja myös poliittisen vaikuttamisen kulisseissa toimi hänen vaimonsa Eleanor Roosevelt, joka uudisti maan ensimmäisen naisen roolia aktiivisuudellaan. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan Eleanor Rooseveltin poliittista vaikutusvaltaa vuosina 1936–1941 hänen kirjoittamansa My Day – kolumnin kautta. Kolumnisteilla oli 1930-luvulla merkittävä rooli yhdysvaltalai…

Sex roles and sex ratios in animals

2022

In species with separate sexes, females and males often differ in their morphology, physiology and behaviour. Such sex-specific traits are functionally linked to variation in reproductive competition, mate choice and parental care, which have all been linked to sex roles. At the 150th anniversary of Darwin's theory on sexual selection, the question of why patterns of sex roles vary within and across species remains a key topic in behavioural and evolutionary ecology. New theoretical, experimental and comparative evidence suggests that variation in the adult sex ratio (ASR) is a key driver of variation in sex roles. Here, we first define and discuss the historical emergence of the sex role c…

Finnish Military Officer Identities and Micro-Political Resistance

2021

Drawing on the concept of micro-political resistance, this article presents an empirical analysis of how officers of the Finnish Defence Forces challenge, resist, and reinforce the collective military identities constructed within the prevailing organizational discourses. There is a need for identity work to meet the norms and ideals of the military, but individuals can also work as change agents. Micro-political resistance derives from feelings of otherness as well as conflict between the dominant organizational identities and individuals’ personal interests. This study presents a thematic discourse analysis based on texts written by 108 officers and 12 interviews on the theme of “the ide…

Communication Professionals and Organisational Decision-Making: A Finnish Study of Practitioner Roles

2016

Traditionally, the debate on communication value and the contribution of communication professionals to organisational decision-making has been linked to diverging roles (managers, technicians). This chapter introduces an alternative view, based on an exploratory, qualitative study of communication professionals in Finland. It focuses on the diverse ways in which these professionals contribute to organisational decisionmaking. The results show a rich, constantly developing picture of communication practices, which challenges the traditional dichotomy of manager and technician roles. peerReviewed

Gender Equality and Maternal Burnout: A 40-Country Study

2022

International audience; In Western countries, recent decades have witnessed a revolution toward gender equality. Inequalities have been greatly reduced in areas such as education or employment. Because inequalities lead to distress, this development has largely benefited women. One notable exception is the realm of parenting, which has remained rife with inequalities even in the most egalitarian countries. We hypothesized that experiencing inequality in parenting when one holds egalitarian values and raising a child in a country characterized by a high level of gender equality in other areas, increases mothers’ psychological distress in the specific area of parenting. Multilevel modeling an…

Emotional and Aesthetic Labor of Finnish Military Officers

2021

This study analyzes the emotional and aesthetic labor of Finnish military officers. It examines the kinds of valuations officers attach to the notion of an ideal soldier. The meanings that officers give to these ideals are explored within the wider framework of post-Fordist new work. The ideal soldier is traditionally considered to be physically capable and strong, rational, and in control—features culturally coded as masculine. An analysis of 108 military officers’ writings and 12 interviews showed that while the traditional masculine ideal still exists, a vast variety of valuations are related to new work. The notion of the new ideal worker includes attributes, such as empathy, emotional …
