Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The COVID-19 pandemic had a dramatic impact on our lives and living. In higher education, it led to a swift shift from on-campus to online education resulting in practices of emergency remote teaching through virtual classrooms. In this project, we seek to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities that this abrupt, enforced change to online education entailed for faculty and students in Sweden and Finland. We aim to examine the evolution of online work and study practices, their impact on the teaching and learning environment, and new expectations imposed on the faculty and students. Our goal is to enhance the theoretical understanding of e-learning, developing guidelines on how to make online education effective, exploring the impact of pandemics on the future of higher education.

- 2012 4 Sally Boyd Göteborgs universitet och Jyväskylä universitet & Åsa Palviainen Jyväskylä universitet Bland murar, broar och hav: En diskursanalys av debatten om tvåspråkiga skolor i Hufvudstadsbladet och Helsingin Sanomat hösten 2011 Miljöpartiets f.d. språkrör Maria Wetterstrand, gift med De Grönas Ville Niinistö, intervjuades som nyinflyttad till Helsingfors i Hufvudstadsbladet den 11:e september 2011. Artikeln handlade egentligen om hennes framtida karriär i Finland men hon gjorde också uttalanden som mer hade med hennes roll som mamma till tvåspråkiga barn att göra. Hon sade bl.a. att ”[d]et är synd med enspråkigt svenska skolor, i ett tvåspråkigt land borde man ju värna om tvåspråkigheten.” Detta blev startskottet på en mycket intensiv tidningsdebatt i bl.a. Hufvudstadsbladet och Helsingin Sanomat, som kom att fortgå under hösten. Debatten fick delvis en ny riktning i månadsskiftet oktober‐november när Helsingin Sanomat publicerade en gallup utförd bland (huvudsakligen) finskspråkiga föräldrar med barn i skolåldern i Helsingforsområdet där det visade sig att en klar majoritet av dem skulle kunna tänka sig att placera sina barn i tvåspråkiga (svensk/finska) skolor om sådana fanns. Från att debatten dittills förts i Hbl (samt andra svenskspråkiga tidningar) utökades den till att dessutom föras på finska på HS:s tidningssidor, i form av artiklar, insändare och ledare. I detta föredrag sätter vi in debatten i en kontext för att försöka förklara varför debatten blev så intensiv som den blev. Vi använder oss av diskursanalys och utför den enligt tre faser: debatten i Hbl efter Maria Wetterstrands uttalande, debatten i Hbl efter att gallupen presenterades i HS samt debatten i HS efter gallupens publicerande. Vi har funnit fyra huvudsakliga diskurser som förekommer i debatten: öppen vs. stängd; antingen‐eller; survival of the fittest; samt vi och dom. Dessa diskurser, samt metaforer som används i anslutning till dem, kommer att presenteras och diskuteras.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Monolingual or bilingual schools in bilingual Finland? – analysis of a newspaper debate during the fall of 2011 Sally Boyd & Åsa Palviainen On September 11, 2011, the former spokesperson for the Swedish Green Party, Maria Wetterstrand, was interviewed in Finlands major Swedish newspaper Huvudstadsbladet about her new public role as independent political debater as well as her private life as spouse of a minister in the Finnish government and parent of two children, enrolled in Swedish daycare and school in Helsinki. Her comment during the interview that ”it’s too bad that Finland doesn’t have bilingual schools”, provides a striking headline for the article and this in turn leads to a lively debate about the idea of introducing bilingual schools for Finnish children. (Currently, there are two separate school systems at all levels – one Swedish-medium and one Finnish-medium.) The debate changes direction after an opinion poll about the question was initiated by Helsingin Sanomat, among parents of school-aged children in Helsinki. This paper examines the debate that ensued in the capital’s two major newspapers, Huvudstadsbladet and Helsingin Sanomat, using nexus analysis (Scollon & Scollon 2004). We analyse the participants, discourse cycles and trajectories circulating through the nexus of debating school forms for Finnish children. We look in particular at the social and educational goals expressed implicitly or explicitly by the participants, the means they see to achieve them as well as the argumentation and figurative language used to support these views. In order to understand the individual actions, the debate is situated in a broader historical perspective of the ongoing negotiation of roles for different individuals and groups (and their languages) in Finnish society. We contextualize the debate in officially bilingual Finland against a backdrop of increasing European and global ”superdiversity” (Blommaert & Rampton ms).

- In many species, the offspring of related parents suffer reduced reproductive success, a phenomenon known as inbreeding depression. In humans, the importance of this effect has remained unclear, partly because reproduction between close relatives is both rare and frequently associated with confounding social factors. Here, using genomic inbreeding coefficients (FROH) for >1.4 million individuals, we show that FROH is significantly associated (p < 0.0005) with apparently deleterious changes in 32 out of 100 traits analysed. These changes are associated with runs of homozygosity (ROH), but not with common variant homozygosity, suggesting that genetic variants associated with inbreeding depression are predominantly rare. The effect on fertility is striking: FROH equivalent to the offspring of first cousins is associated with a 55% decrease [95% CI 44–66%] in the odds of having children. Finally, the effects of FROH are confirmed within full-sibling pairs, where the variation in FROH is independent of all environmental confounding.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The ability to explain word meanings is central to a child’s language development and socialisation into different domains of language use. In previous research explanations have been shown to be linked to cognitive and linguistic development as well as academic language and discursive skills. This paper analyses what kinds of linguistic and discursive competences are put to use in explanation activities in interactions between an 8-year-old bilingual child (Albin) and his mother around a digital game. The data comes from a larger data set of video-recordings and field observation of children’s interactions around games. The analysis focuses on explanation sequences in which the child explicates the meaning of objects and procedures in the game world. The analysis shows how explanations are initiated, how they unfold in interaction and how they make relevant asymmetrical roles for the participants, allowing the child to construct a position of knowledge with regard to the game, an important part of his life world. More specifically, the analysis elucidates how Albin’s explanations highlight semantic features and relations that are meaningful for him and how he employs a wide range of linguistic and other semiotic resources in constructing his explanations in a context-sensitive way. The findings shed light on linguistic, interactional and multimodal features of explanations as a discourse activity and provide a window into practices of two-way language socialization in the family.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- When parents with different first languages have a child, and want the child to become bilingual in both languages, many parents adopt the one person – one language (OPOL) strategy. This chapter uses nexus analysis (Scollon R, Scollon SW, Nexus analysis. Discourse and the emerging internet. Routledge, London, 2004) to carry out a discourse analysis of ways in which this strategy is motivated by parents and ways it is enacted in conversations between parents and children, in three Swedish-Finnish bilingual families with 3–4 year old children in Finland. We also look at how the children participate in the negotiation of family language policy. Parents were interviewed about their own language backgrounds and education and their explicit strategies of communication in the family. They were also asked to record family interactions. Interviews and interaction were transcribed for further analysis. The results of the nexus analysis show similar parental discourses indicating that the family language policy was a result of both explicit planning and non-planned practices. They described the OPOL strategy as a “natural” one to use to raise their children bilingually, although all of them were themselves raised in only one language; they were concerned by the dominance of the majority language (Finnish) in the surroundings and found it important to increase the amount of the minority language (Swedish) used around the child; and they all referred to personal experiences, lay theories as well as research to motivate their policies. The discussions of FLP showed that this policy was in constant flux and subject to minor re-negotiations. The analysis of the interaction showed that details of the FLP were furthermore mutually constructed and negotiated upon; the children had an important role in this process. The study shows that the one person – one language strategy can imply different practices, in different families and different contexts.
