Handbook of Settings-Based Health Promotion
This book's central focus is to provide academics, students, policy-makers, and practitioners with a unique insight into a wide variety of perspectives on settings-based health promotion. It offers clarity amidst different interpretations and ideological understandings of what applying a settings-based approach means. Emphasis is given to a salutogenic focus, exploring how the creation of wellbeing and fostering of potential in settings to best enable individuals and populations to flourish implies that the setting itself must be the entry point for health promotion. Building on this, the text explores how the settings approach to health promotion strives for changes in the structure and eth...

Health Promoting Settings in the 21st Century: New Approaches and Competencies to Address Complexity and Inequity in an Increasingly Globalized World
The Ottawa Charter specifies that health promotion “has to be facilitated in schools, homes, workplaces and community settings” because “health is created and lived by people within the settings of their everyday life; where they learn, work, play and love”. COVID-19 had a profound impact on people’s lives and settings-based approaches have been developed in different shapes and formats. COVID-19 has also highlighted social vulnerabilities and laid bare how structural drivers of health inequity interact with class, race, ethnicity, gender, and education. Evidence is needed to document how these determinants can be addressed using settings-based approaches, and how new settings such as digital media, theories and frameworks can be used to tailor context appropriate strategies. Evidence is also needed to address challenges related to sustainability, resilience, and adaptation of complex systems in view of global health issues such as geopolitical instability, climate change and migration, as well as competencies needed to address them.
Sport, Migration, and Gender in the Neoliberal Age
This ethnographic collection explores how neoliberalism has permeated the bodies, subjectivities, and gender of youth around the world as global sport industries have expanded their reach into marginal areas, luring young athletes with the dream of pursuing athletic careers in professional leagues of the Global North. Neoliberalism has reconfigured sport since the 1980s, as sport clubs and federations have become for-profit businesses, in conjunction with television and corporate sponsors. Neoliberal sport has had other important effects, which are rarely the object of attention: as the national economies of the Global South and local economies of marginal areas of the Global North have coll...
Pysy liikkeellä
Ihminen on luotu liikkumaan. Liikkumattomuus uhkaa yksilöitä ja yhteiskuntia ympäri maailman, ja siitä on virinnyt vilkas keskustelu myös Suomessa. Mistä puhumme, kun puhumme liikkumisesta, miksi istumme lähes puolet päivistämme ja mitä seuraa, kun alamme liikkua joka päivä enemmän? Moderni yhteiskunta ohjaa monin tavoin passiiviseen elämäntapaan, mikä vaikuttaa yksilötasolla kielteisesti niin terveyteen, jaksamiseen kuin mielen hyvinvointiin. Muutos parempaan alkaa sen ymmärtämisestä, että liikunta ja liikkuminen ovat eri asioita. Vähäinenkin liikkumisen lisääminen parantaa mahdollisuuksia elää täysipainoista elämää. Kirja osoittaa, että liikkumisen ilo palau...
Mediated Ideologies: Nordic Views on the History of the Press and Media Cultures
Ideologies have not been a focus of interest in the field of humanities and social sciences in recent decades, but rethinking the power of ideologies in the media sphere has recently returned to the scholarly discussion. The compilation book “Mediated Ideologies: Nordic Views on the History of the Press and Media Cultures” participates in this by providing selected yet justified approaches to media history from the point of view of ideological uses of media in the Nordic region. In this book, the role of media – comprising both popular media and news journalism – as a forum for ideologies and their circulation will be analyzed by focusing on the Nordic region. The perceived similarit...
