Going against the grain? A longitudinal study of the material-discursive practices of staying among young adults in rural Finland
This article explores what staying rural means for Finnish young people who envision, or consider, a future in sparsely populated regions.

They were followed through qualitative participatory research methods since the age of 15 (2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020)(2021)(2022).

Youth Beyond the City
Youth Beyond the City
The purpose of this book is to situate the place beyond the city as an epistemological vantage point for researching youth. Existing frameworks about young people privilege large urban centres or ‘global cities’ and create forms of marginality that are at once spatial and epistemological. This book interrogates and moves beyond these boundaries, turning the margins into a unique position for understanding youth and examining forms of difference w…
Emerging Adulthood in the Time of Pandemic
This article discusses changes introduced into the everyday life and lifecourse dispositions of young adults in two sparsely populated regions in Finland during the COVID-19 lockdown period of spring 2020.

Our case study focused on the standardised forms used by teachers during child guidance clinic referrals and transfers to special education in northern Finland, from the 1950s to the early 1990s. How standardised forms were constructed and how they guided teacher…

By focusing on letter‐writing the article provides an example of how a technology of the word could be used as a panoptic technology of observation and reformation. The article discusses the practice of using letters in monitoring children’s development in early twentieth‐century reform school education. It is based on the author’s study of Finnish reform school education and draws on a collection of children’s letters and educational writings in…
