Social Work During COVID-19
This book focusses on social work in the time of COVID-19. Social workers, their clients, and the organisations they represent have been affected by the pandemic in multiple ways. The pandemic and various efforts to curb the viral outbreak, such as face masks and lockdowns, have forced social workers to adapt to a ‘new normal’, launch new practices, mobilise social support and networks remotely, and above all, defend the most vulnerable populations. This requires an understanding of how social work and its clients are prepared for, capable to respond to, and further, to recover from a societal crisis and human disasters, like a coronavirus pandemic.

Lapin ihminen
Finnish Lapland is a historical borderland of Finnish and Sámi cultures. Such a region offers various social-political identifications for people to choose: people may see it possible to identify as Finnish, Laplanders, Lappish or Sámi, for instance. However, the choices have social and political limits, and some identifications are more contested than others. The book examines the processes of identifications in the middle parts of Lapland, just south of the region defined as Sámi homeland in Finland. While the study reveals differences and nuances in people’s thinking, it also shows that there is a recognizable sense of shared cultural specifity around the region. Lapland is conceptualized as an extraordinary place with unusual nature and history, characterized by particular livelihoods (such as reindeer herding) and lively cultural interaction. The book concludes that while Lapland is extraordinary as a historical dwelling region of indigenous Sámi, it may be politically significant to recognize it as a unique borderland of cultures with features of its own.

Valloittava taiteilijaromaani 1900-luvun alkupuolelta! Viisikymppinen Jaakko Tyrni on kirjoittanut elääkseen, mutta nyt hän voi viimein kirjoittaa omaksi ilokseen. Maksettuaan velkansa Jaakko voi alkaa julkaista ajan kanssa viimeisteltyä tekstiä, ja hän ounastelee jo parhainta luomiskauttaan alkavaksi. Kollega jos toinenkin istuu Jaakon kanssa saunanlauteilla maailmaa parantamassa, mutta kaikkein kiinnostavin tapaus on lähellä liehuva kirjailijatar Annikki Rastas. Ajan myötä Jaakko Tyrniä ylistetään jo yhdeksi aikansa suurimmista kirjailijoista, mutta etevimmätkään taiteilijat eivät välty haasteilta – etenkään, kun kyseessä ovat niin lukijakunnan mieltymykset kuin rakkausasiat. Maila Talvio (1871–1951) oli tuottelias kirjailija, joka käsitteli teoksissaan muun muassa suomalaisen maaseudun ongelmia. Talvio kirjoitti myös lehtiin ja taisteli Suomen puolesta sortovuosien aikana. Ennen kuolemaansa hänelle myönnettiin kunniatohtorin arvonimi.

Social Work in a Glocalised World
This engaging and timely volume contributes new knowledge to the rapidly emerging field of globalisation and social work. The volume brings together cutting-edge interdisciplinary scholarship from countries such as Australia, Finland, Japan, South Africa, the Philippines and Sweden. It proposes ‘glocalisation’ as a useful concept for re-framing conditions, methodologies and practices for social work in a world perspective. Part I of the volume, 'The Glocalisation of Social Issues', deals with major environmental, social and cultural issues – migration and human rights, environmental problems and gendered violence. Part II, 'Methodological Re-Shaping and Spatial Transgression in Glocalised Social Work', develops an epistemology of situated knowledge and methodologies inspired by art, creative writing and cultural geography, focusing on physical, material and emotional spatial dimensions of relevance to social work. Part III, 'Responses from Social Work as a Glocalised Profession', examines how social work has responded to specific social problems, crises and vulnerabilities in a glocalised world.
