Sonic Acts Academy 2016 Zine
Published on the occasion of the inaugural Sonic Acts Academy, this zine-style publication highlights artistic practices as vital to understanding the complexities of our contemporary world. The wide range of works challenge the sterile forms of knowledge presentations by celebrating the histories, textures, and patterns of hands-on and intuitive working methods. The strong visual character of the zine grounds the texts, essays, and manifestos firmly into the visual and avoids re-framing artistic research practices within a scientific vernacular or methodology. With an experimental typographical approach and stripped of traditional formalities, the zine offers a loud, deconstructed experience of artistic research strategies and processes.
The Future of Schools and Teacher Education
"This is not a book about praising Finnish school education. After a brief introduction to Finnish education and culture, the book delves into details about the new curricula changes, the workings of schools, and the thoughts and education approaches of Finnish educators. Given the recent curricula changes, effective as of August 2016, the book includes 14 school cases to exemplify the way schools are implementing policy changes and the way principals and teachers see the future of education and learning in Finland. The book also includes one in-depth analysis of curriculum changes for pre-service teacher education and three more pre-service teaching education programs at four universities i...

Agency at Work
The present book collects, integrates, and discusses the range of perspectives and discourses on agency at work. In addition, the book compiles the empirical research that has been generated by various perspectives. The chapters deal with the relationship between (a) agency at work, and (b) professional learning and development. They encompass a wide variety of working life domains and/or contexts, and are based on a broad range of epistemological and theoretical standpoints. This volume is not only thought to bring together current research, but also to foster the contemporary discourse on workplace agency a few steps further. Although the book strongly focuses on research originating in the field of workplace learning, its contents may be of interest to researchers from other scientific domains, such as socio-cognitive and development psychology, organisational behaviour, leadership, economics, life-course research, and philosophy.

Small Gods
Small Gods deconstructs the mythology of the drone: as soothing sound, aerial spy, and killing machine. When we say 'drone technology,' we can mean the tanpura, a plucked-string instrument originating in 16th century India, or the Gorgon Stare, an aerial surveillance technology designed by the US military - and evoke competing notions of terror and transcendence. Small Gods leans into this ambiguity. As each chapter focuses on the work of an artist with a unique understanding of 'the drone', the book illuminates myriad facets of these entangled technological entities. Opening with William Basinki's first glimpse of the ash-clouds of 9/11 - which spawned both The Disintegration Loops and the ...
Educational Technology and Polycontextual Bridging
Technology has become ubiquitous in nearly every contemporary situation, while digital media have acquired considerable importance in the lives of young people. Alongside their interest in digital media, schooling constitutes a core component of the life of children and adolescents. Youth’s use of digital media creates tensions between traditions and expectations of renewal within the school. The once-sharp divide between school and leisure time is eroding. How will the school as an institution relate to this comprehensive process of change known as the digital revolution? How can the school build a bridge between the world of youth and school material to enable students to learn in a new ...
Jokijärvi ja Aukusti
Veikko Räisäsen 11. kirja Jokijärvi ja Aukusti kertoo nimensä mukaisesti Jokijärvestä 1840-luvulta lähelle toisen maailmansodan syttymistä. Kylän tapahtumiin kietoutuu myös 1869 raskaiden nälkävuosien jälkeen syntyneen Aukustin elämäntarina. Räisänen antaa aikalaisten itse kertoa elämästään tuon ajan eri lehtiin Jokijärveltä lähetetyissä kirjeissä. Ne antavat realistisen kuvan tuon ajan maaseudun elämästä, joka ei suinkaan ole ollut ruusuilla tanssimista. Nälkä ja kylmä on ollut lähes jokapäiväinen vieras eikä ilon aiheita juuri ole ollut, kuin ehkä seurapirtin eteisessä nuorten kuiskutellessa. Räisäsen teksti on sujuvaa ja vaikka aihe on hengenvakava, niin huumoriakin löytyy ja myös kyyneleet silmiin nostavaa surua ja liikutuksen aihetta. Kirjoittaja on saanut henkilönsä sulautumaan historian suureen kulkuun niin kuin pitääkin: itsehän he historiansa tekivätkin. Rakkaat ihmiset kulkevat aina mukanamme; muistoissamme, ajatuksissamme ja sydämissämme säilyvät tärkeimmät ja arvokkaimmat asiat. Omistan tämän kirjan kaikille heille.
