Results of the Jyväskylä research project on couple therapy for intimate partner violence : topics and strategies in successful therapy processes
2018
Despite controversy over the indications of couple therapy for IPV, current research has indicated some benefits. This article examines some crucial aspects when dealing with couple therapy for IPV, such as how dominance and power abuse are present, and which important issues should be taken into account during the therapeutic process and be brought up in therapeutic conversations. It also proposes strategies for therapists conducting couple therapy for IPV. Ten studies conducted within the Jyväskylä research project on couple therapy for IPV were reviewed. Findings highlighted the importance of the therapists’ awareness of the presence of violence, dominance and power during the sessions, …
Imperial straightening devices in disciplinary choices of academic knowledge production
2021
Abstract In this piece, the authors question whether critical language research, in its complex collection of researcher choices, is possible beyond the discursive imaginary of critical academic scholarship. In other words, how do (allegedly) anticolonial efforts re-orient towards contribution to the imperial record? We present three vignettes, through which we grapple with the notion that researcher choice exists within the solipsism of academia. In doing so, we frame research and scholarship as a collection of choices, which we believe are better understood as a collection of fraught dilemmas. These dilemmas recognize that all academic scholarship production and its processes are birthed …
Finnish-Chinese intercultural negotiation : power positioning and search for common ground
2018
‘Rising China’ is a term that has come to refer to China’s march to being number one, the speed of its economic growth, and its investment around the world during last two decades. In Finland, government agencies have been established to promote investment, trade, and co-operation with China, while regional and local governments are also actively involved. Meanwhile, much of the world is now competing for the attention of China, so the power dynamic is tending to shift in favour of the Chinese. This developing context has been examined in previous studies primarily from the perspectives of politics, economics, and management studies. The overarching aim of this study is to investigate emerg…

Trolligans : Conceptual Links Between Trolling and Hooliganism in Sports and Esports
2023
Both game-based trolling and hooliganism have existed in some form since the inception of online gaming and professional sports respectively. The two share many characteristics: provocation of an opposing entity, the tendency to taunt or trash-talk others based on their social or individual identity, and disruptive and/or destructive behaviour. However, despite this and the increasing similarity between the worlds of traditional sports and esports, research on the two negatively perceived phenomena has remained largely separate. The present article aims to both link and distinguish the two types of behaviour in terms of what motivates them, the agents involved, and the spaces in which they…

Kansalaisjärjestöjen elävä tila : tarkastelussa Mannerheimin Lastensuojeluliitto ry:n ja Pelastakaa Lapset ry:n lausunnot ja kannanotot
2010
Tutkielmassani olennaista on kansalaisjärjestöjen ja tarkemmin Mannerheimin Lastensuojeluliitto ry:n (MLL) sekä Pelastakaa Lapset ry:n yhteiskunnallisen aseman tarkastelu järjestöjen omasta näkökulmasta. Tarkastelu painottuu julkisen ja kolmannen sektorin väliseen suhteeseen. Hahmotan kansalaisjärjestöjen asemaa suhteessa valtiovaltaan tutkimalla kansalaisjärjestöjen kommentointia valtiovallan toimiin ja esityksiin sekä järjestöjen omia kokemuksia niiden oikeudesta toimia valtiovallan rinnalla. Tutkielman aineiston muodostaa Mannerheimin Lastensuojeluliiton ja Pelastakaa Lasten lausunnot ja kannanotot vuodelta 2008. Lisäksi olen käyttänyt järjestöjen hyvinvointiohjelmia, toimintakertomuksia…

Agentive responsibility and possibilities of conjoined therapy for intimate relationship violence
2013
This thesis is about how to provide conjoined therapy to couples suffering from intimate partner violence (IPV). The discourse analysis concentrated on the narrations produced in therapy and how both the therapists and customers position themselves responsibly thus with strong agency. The results suggest an array of supportive narrative practises to enhance agency and provide through psychoeducation, empowering and perspective challenging toward more individual sense of agency in speech about one’s relation to the relationship as well as to the theme of violence.
