Tämä ei ole hyvän mielen postaus, mutta ehkä syksyn tärkein postaukseni. Suosittelen kaikille tutkijoille ja tutkimusryhmille: käsitelkää törkyriskejä ja suunnitelkaa toimenpiteitä etukäteen yhdessä. Lähiaikoina on tiettävästi odotettavissa törkyä tiedeyhteisöä kohtaan. Ketjusta muutama pikavinkki.

My article, ”’I Hear No Men Talking About It’: Male Comedians on Abortion” was published yesterday in the special section, ”Reproductive Justice and Its Discontents: Recent Representations in American Popular Culture,” of the RSA Journal. The issue is available here: ojs.unito.it/index.php/rs...

NAAS-konferenssi järjestetään ensi viikolla Turussa. Professori Benita Heiskasen mukaan konferenssi toimii foorumina kansainväliselle Yhdysvaltain tutkimuksen yhteisölle aikana, jolloin tutkimus ja opetus ovat joutuneet ideologisten hyökkäysten kohteeksi. www.utu.fi/fi/ajankohta...

USA:n tutkimusrahoituksen ehdoilla ei ole vaikutusta tutkimuksen vapauteen yliopistossamme. Tutkimusrahoituksen hankkiminen on tärkeä väline tieteellisen tutkimuksen toteuttamiseksi. Rahoitusta ei tule hakea hinnalla millä hyvänsä, kuten poistamalla tiettyjä sanoja tutkimussuunnitelmasta.
