Miten syntyi kuva, että länsiraja on kiinni?

@JussiPullinen: Koronakriisin alussa oli vaikea löytää asiantuntijoita problematisoimaan rajoituspäätöksiä.

@VuorelmaJohanna: Mediassa on jopa lisätty kierroksia hallituksen viesteihin.

Katso #viimeinensana!

Dr @VuorelmaJohanna at our Speakers Series discusses what narratives do in foreign policy analysis: explain, moralise, construct self/others, and offer advice.

Amazing news! TWO of our IASR fellows, @laahva and @heikkilah, were just appointed as Associate Professors in journalism studies! Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences @ITC_TampereUni will be lucky to have them!

The second day of our Symposium on Populism. Keynotes Pertti Alasuutari and Tuija Saresmaa address questions of how globalized the populist turn is, and how fears and emotions are mobilized in online populist communication. #populism

Finnish Institutes of Advanced Studies meeting started with speed dating to know each others' projects (e.g. empathy, religious relics, nature relationship) and things we're proud of (e.g. our children or parenthood, new teaching methods, activism). Great method to warm up!

[IASR Tampere @IASRTamp]

Guest speakers Gerald MacLean and Donna Landry just told us about how they re-enacted (on horses!) a historical travel of Evliya Ҫelebi in Turkey. Exciting way to do research!
