"The disappearance of extended time from the university changes the texture of intellectual life. It narrows how we think and what we are able to notice." Madiha Tariq asks whether “the opportunity to linger over #research” still has a place in today’s #academic environment.

I can't believe it's happened but I've gotten so used to Calibri that now Times New Roman looks unpleasant. For years I would cringe at Calibri (and the like) and do all that I could to avoid it. I have a lot of font thoughts but I'm trying to overcome them for the sake of accessibility.

Siirtolaisuus kiinnostaa taas. ”On useita kiinnostavia hankkeita esimerkiksi asutuskolonialismista, tai maankäyttö- ja ympäristönäkökulmista. Myös historiallinen Pohjois-Amerikan suomalaisten työväenliike ja nykypäivän aktivismi on kiinnostanut paljon.” Toteaa @samirasaramo.bsky.social Ylen jutussa.

Siirtolaisuus kiinnostaa taas: amerikanserkut löysivät pikkuiseen Simoon, paikansivat juurensa ja ihastuivat pesäpalloon

Juuriaan Suomeen etsimään tullut ryhmä päätyi Meri-Lappiin. Vanhan museon pihapiirissä näki, millaisista oloista esivanhemmat lähtivät paremman elämän perään.
