IPrA in 2027 - Helsinki

An academic highlight from this spring: the conferment ceremony, where recent (or not-so-recent) graduates receive their academic emblems. Three days of white tie festivities. I've had my degree for some 18 months, but now I am also the proud owner of a Finnish doctoral hat and sword.🎩⚔️

As the first week of the academic year is ending, there is suddenly a day without teaching, lesson-prepping, student advising... 😮 A day to just read and write, it's like back in the good ol' days.

First day of teaching!🧑‍🎓There is a lot of new stuff to learn both for me and the students. Until end of 2026, I'll be working as a lecturer in English at @helsinkiuni. So there's still time to learn.

“Wealth is good.” Finfluencers like to tell “rags-to-riches”stories about their personal history & how they got rich to create relatability, @ylvabiri.bsky.social finds in her analysis of narratives of professionalism & positioning in YouTube investment advice 💸 at CADS2024 🎓📚🏔️ #CADS2024

#cads2024 attendees studying discourses around minorities, homelessness or fascism might want to know that on the riverbank just outside the Agnes-Heller-Haus venue is a Memorial against the Industrial Handling of Minorities. wolfgangtschernutter.at
