Lapin matkailuyrityksillä voi olla edessä konkurssiaalto. Talvisesonki oli käynnissä ennätystahdissa mutta loppui koronan vuoksi kuin seinään. Vaikka viime vuodet ovat olleet Lapin matkailussa hyviä, on tehty suuria investointeja odotetun kasvun toivossa.

Thanks to the organisers' effort, we were able to remotely join the seminar 'Multimodality in (inter)action'. Learned a lot from @maijustrommer's workshop about how to study social action using nexus analysis. Thanks everyone for making it work, and I look forward to tomorrow.

#COVIDー19 has been the main topic in the past days in Finland, too. It hits tourism industry.

Sociolinguistic research site @Lg_on_the_Move publishes blog posts about the multilingualism in relation to the virus: https://t.co/UdmHT3ebTh

Lapland is drowning in snow: there is more than 1 meter of snow and more is coming. #snowhow

Saamelaiset ja valtio ovat kumpikin hyväksyneet totuus- ja sovintokomission perustamisen.

Komissio ryhtyy kaivamaan valtion pakkosuomalaistamistoimien historiaa esiin. Näin alkaa historianteko.

@maijustrommer is writing research articles about language practices in mining work, too. However, we have noticed that it is more fruitful to reflect the research results with participants using pictures than giving them a research report to read.

In #mining work, there are routines, which make the work predictable: the safety protocols, the reporting, the day rhythm. However, a #mine is a changing environment: they dig deeper, blast new drifts and plug old ones up. That's why the transmission of information is essential.

[Cold Rush @coldrushproject]

We discussed #multilingualism in a #mine via these visual results. We reflected the role of #multilingual materials, pictures and videos in the training of multilingual workers. As a result, the mine considers translating their signs and online modules into more languages.

In mining work, effective language use and a shared understanding of tasks and risks is essential for safe and smooth production. Mining workers have to communicate clearly e.g. via radio phones.

Maiju from @coldrushproject is in Lapland for fieldwork with our collaborator Kori Allan. In this project, we focus on expanding economic hotspots - but still, even in the biggests tourism resorts during the busiest Christmas season, you can find peace and space in nature.

Talvivaaran kaivos epäonnistui, mutta valtio-omisteisella Terrafamella menee paremmin: ympäristöhaasteet on pääosin selätetty, ja kaivoksella tuotetaan akkukemikaaleja sähköautoihin. Kaivosta arvioidaan vastuullisemmaksi kuin Kiinan akkutuotantoa. https://t.co/4aQMizv38Q

The regional newspaper of Lapland considers the threats and possibilities of the expanding #Arctic #tourism. The aim is to increase it wisely and in sustainable ways. Climate change is the biggest threat but can also bring "climate tourists" to Lapland.

This time, Maiju from Cold Rush project visited Sebastian Muth in Berlin for a writing retreat to continue writing the manuscript on the conditions of language commodification in the Arctic tourism business. As a result, the first draft is almost done. So nice to write together!

[Cold Rush @coldrushproject]

Dr. Sebastian Muth from Lancaster University, @LAEL_LU, visited @coldrushproject in Jyväskylä. It was a productive week! Looking forward to continue collaborating with him – to continue working on the manuscript about #commodification of Russian language in Lapland.
