The Finnish editorial period of NORA KICK-OFF! Come and participate in making the journal!
In 2019 gender studies of Tampere University will start as the editorial home of NORA, Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research. We want to kick off this period by discussing how to make the journal the best possible platform for fruitful multidisciplinary research in feminist and gender studies. Are the aims and scope of the journal up to date? Should the journal promote full open access, or new types of publications? Is there a need to reach wider audiences, in and outside of the academia, and how could we do this? In this kick-off event, we first introduce the journal, its current aims and scope, the Tampere editorial team and the Finnish editorial board for 2019–2020. We will continue the discussions in facilitated small groups, and will end up combining these discussions to guide the work of the editorial team and board.
Your ideas and thoughts are valuable – come and share them with other scholars, students and us!
Affective Inequalities in Intimate Relationships
Kolehmainen, Marjo & Juvonen, Tuula (eds): Affective Inequalities in Intimate Relationships (Routledge Research in Gender and Society, 2018)
Please join us for a book launch event with wine reception!
It is time to celebrate the launch of the recent collection Affective Inequalities in Intimate Relationships. The book is edited by Dr. Tuula Juvonen (University of Turku) and Dr. Marjo Kolehmainen (University of Tampere), and published in Routledge Research in Gender and Society series in 2018.
Raising to the challenge of how to grasp different forms of affectively mediated inequalities, Affective Inequalities in Intimate Relationship focuses on those subtle inequalities that are shaped in everyday affective encounters. It also seeks to bridge a gap between affect theory and empirical social research by providing ideas and inspiration of how to work with affect in research practice.
The book launch event encompasses opening words by the editors, Dr. Katie Anderson’s (London South Bank University, UK) introduction of her book chapter ‘An affective (re)balancing act? The liminal possibilities for heterosexual partners on MDMA’, followed by Professor Marianne Liljeström’s (University of Turku, FIN) brief commentary on the book as a whole.
During the book launch it will also be possible to meet several of the authors, and to receive a discount code for purchasing the book. This all will be accompanied by a wine reception. You are most warmly welcome!
