Mikä on kollegiaalisuuden rooli yliopistomaailmassa?

Japani on siitä kiinnostava maa, että täällä on samanaikaisesti lukemattomia yhtäläisyyksiä ja eroavaisuuksia Suomen kanssa. Tarkoituksenani ei kuitenkaan tässä ole keskittyä listaamaan stereotypioita, vaan eroavaisuuksien kautta haastaa ajattelemaan kollegiaalisuutta yliopistomaailmassa. Eroavaisuuksiin keskittyminen voi toisinaan olla vahingollista, mutta periaatteessa paljon on myös asenteesta kiinni. Suhtautuuko eroavaisuuksiin kyynisesti vai uteliaisuudella?

Of blogs and Twitter in academia

Spring is finally here! So beautiful to see the cherry trees blossoming – in fact, it’s so beautiful that I almost can’t wait for all the hanami parties to start.

Final day in NYC – some pictures

As I’m writing this post I have more or less 29 hours left in this fantastic city. Time has gone by insanely fast, but I’ve been lucky to have been granted with this possibility. Luckily I still get to spend three months in Tokyo this autumn, so you’ll be hearing from me soon! But let’s…

West coast hustle

Back in Europe we quite often like to think of the US as a one single country with a more or less unified mindset. Europe, on the other hand, is seen as a diverse region as we are more familiar with its history. However, the US is equally diverse – if not even more diverse!…
