honored to have been invited to be the Opponent in a PhD defense at the University of Helsinki. Congratulations to Manoj Bushal, and a special thank to Tiina Seppala and all the colleagues at development studies
Next week, I will be speaking at an interesting event – Nepal’s Gen Z Revolution: Understanding the Uprising and Exploring Democratic Futures – at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Helsinki.
Just before the protests began in Nepal, I attended the Second Inter-Polar Conference: Connecting the Arctic with the Third Pole at ICIMOD. It was just as inspiring as the first conference in 2023. This time, it focused on the cryosphere, people & climate change. www.arcticcentre.org/EN/Inter-Pol...
Congratulations, onnea Rosi 🧡🌹
Several important events are taking place next week in Helsinki to celebrate 50 years of existence of the Helsinki Accords. Please consider also signing the The Helsinki +50 People’s declaration on common security and human rights.

Kiitokset ahkerille kollegoille, jotka jaksavat vastata näihin kohuihin, kesälläkin. Maahanmuuttoon/feminismiin/rasismiin liittyvää tutkimusta on riepoteltu vuosia. Nyt kritisoidaan myös kansainvälisyyttä. Tiede on kuitenkin lähtökohtaisesti kansainvälistä, ja aikamme keskeiset haasteet globaaleja.

Kauneusalan työstä, sen tekijöistä ja heidän suhteistaan asiakkaisiin tarvitaan tietoa.
