Common stereotypical images of Finn- ish migrants range from the early 20th century lumberjack who left his native country to work in the timber trade in North America, to his countryman who found employment in the factories of prosperous Sweden in the 1960s or 1970s. Women have also emigrated from Finland to work as maids in St. Petersburg or nurses in Germany and the United Kingdom, or to accompany their families that crossed oceans to look for a new life abroad. This collection of articles aims at broadening our understanding of Finnish emigration and the multitude of different types of transnational mobility that Finns engage in, which is a distinctive feature of our times. The days when entire villages in the peripheries had to contemplate international migration to a single destination as a survival strategy are long gone. Current migration from Finland is much more diverse, as people make individual choices with their own motivations for undertaking international mobility. For some, the motivation is grounded in career aspirations, while for others it is linked to love, family or a personal life- style choice, such as wanting to experience life in a global city or retirement in sunny Spain or Thailand. The origins of this book lie in the realization that many scholars in the early stages of their career who agreed to write to this volume are researching these interesting new migration phenomena in different settings. Finns Abroad – New Forms of Mobility and Migration takes you, our reader, on a trip that spans over four continents and explores different types of mobility, Preface ■ 7 such as marriage and family migration, company secondments and highly-skilled migration. The historical perspective is present here too, as some destination countries have long attracted Finnish migrants. The irst chapter by Elli Heikkilä introduces recent statistics on out-migration from Finland. Elli gives a proile of some Finnish emigrants and presents some of their thoughts about their possible return to Finland. In the second chapter, Krister Björklund irst walks us briely through the history of Finnish migration abroad over the past ifty years. He then continues with a comparison of the integration of Finnish migrants into local society in Sweden and in Switzerland, two quite different destinations in terms of the migrant stocks that have moved to each destination. In chapter three, Saara Koikkalainen discusses the phenomenon of highly skilled migration in the European context, focusing on the motivation of Finns who have moved abroad to other European Union countries. Salla Saarela’s ar- ticle in chapter four also looks at expatriate Finns in Europe, especially the place experience of Finns living in Ireland. In chapter ive, Johanna Leinonen tracks the changes in Finnish emigration to the United States over the course of the twentieth century, showing how the marriage patterns of Finnish emigrants have changed along with deepening glo- balization processes. Our next stop in the United States is Silicon Valley, where in chapter six Carol Marie Kiriakos explores how the Finnish professionals situate their identity between their fellow citizens living back home and the non-Finns living in this innovation hub. In chapter seven, we ind ourselves on the other side of the globe where Nicol Foulkes explores how Finnish and Danish privileged migrants on company se- condment navigate the social systems of India’s mega-cities Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai. In the following chapter Anu Warinowski concentrates on the migration experiences of expatriate families who have returned to Finland after a company placement abroad. In spite of originating from what is now a relatively prosperous nation, not all Finnish migrants live privileged lives when they are abroad. In chapter nine Leena Vuorinen takes a look at the life course of Finnish male alcoholics who have emigrated to Sweden and Australia. In chapter ten we stay downunder and Tiina Lammervo describes the differences between older and newer Finnish migrants living in Australia in terms of their linguistic and cultural identity. Our journey concludes with chapter eleven by Sanna-Mari Vierimaa, who discusses Finnish emigrant politics through the lens of the active member associations of the Finn- ish Expatriate Parliament. We would like to thank the Spatial Citizenship in European Labour Markets (2008–2011) research project which was inanced by the Academy of Finland Re- search Programme on The Future of Work and Wellbeing (WORK) for supporting the publication of this volume. We are grateful to the leader of the research project, 8 ■ Preface professor Asko Suikkanen and team members Seppo Koskinen, Anni Vilkko, Nicol Foulkes, Marja Katisko, Timo Tammilehto and Hannu Mikkola. We would also like to thank the Institute of Migration, particularly the direc- tor, Ismo Söderling, for his insightful comments on the manuscript, the librarian Sisko Tampio who organized the lay-out of the book and lastly the information service manager, Jouni Korkiasaari. We hope you enjoy your ride around the globe with us. Turku and Rovaniemi, December 7, 2011 Elli Heikkilä and Saara Koikkalainen ■ 9 Chapter 1 Finns abroad – the profi le of emigrants and their thoughts about returning to Finland Elli Heikkilä Abstract Finland’s balance of international migration has been positive from the beginning of the 1980s, but since the irst half of the 1990s up to the recent times there have been net losses of Finnish citizens. Substantially more Finnish citizens have left the country than expatriates have returned. The reverse is true for foreign citizens who come to Finland, for which the total balance of international migra- tion is positive. During 2008–2009 this balance has also been positive for Finnish citizens but in 2010 it turned out to be negative again. This chapter gives

  • Evidence of Lexical Re-Borrowing in the Spoken English of First Generation Finnish-Australians
    Evidence of Lexical Re-Borrowing in the Spoken English of First Generation Finnish-Australians GREG WATSON 1. Introduction Lexical borrowing from one language into another is a natural consequence of any language contact situation and has been extensively discussed. The earliest seminal work for the latter half of the previous century is that of Haugen (1950) and Weinreich (1953). Lexical borrowing occurs when a speaker needs to account for some form of semantic gap in either LI or L2. For instance, a Finn who has emigrated to Australia will have been confronted with new cultural experiences. S/he will have promptly needed to acquire a broadened vocabulary, using words that may not have a Finnish equivalent. Hence, various words are borrowed from Australian English into the Finnish spoken at home, or with other Finnish immigrants, when discussing a particular cultural difference at hand. Equally so, Finns will bring new concepts with them that they will introduce into Australian culture. For instance, amongst English speaking people it is a little known fact that sauna derives from Finnish. Instances of borrowings, where the minority language group consistently borrows from the host language group and vice versa, are well documented. However, little attention, if any, has been paid to the phenomenon of re-borrowing, where, for example, a word originally borrowed from Australian English into Finnish is then re-used (re• borrowed) in the spoken English of the Finns, albeit in a slighdy different phonological and/or morphological form, when conversing with native speakers of Australian English. There have been NORDIC JOURNAL OF ENGLISH STUDIES VOL.

  • Baek, Chung & Chang Zhang (University of Warwick) Building
    Baek, Chung & Chang Zhang (University of Warwick) Building solidarity with constructive journalism: Mediating climate-induced migration With the increasing frequency and severity of extreme environmental events, “climate-induced migration” (CIM) is gaining increasing tractions in public discourse. In particular, mass media play a key role in shaping the global imagination about climate change and the mobility it drives. However, studies have found that the traditional media tend to frame the CIM in a decontextualised, racialised and feminised manner, which generates detached compassion or aversion instead of action-mobilising solidarity. Thus, this paper aims to interrogate what kind of journalism promotes social justice and solidarity for those displaced by climate change, and then what types of media contribute to producing more socially relevant journalism for CIM. Drawing on different journalism theories such as interpretive, constructive and ethical, which mainly promote positive, solution-based and humanity-sensitive journalism, the authors build up a theoretical framework, responsible journalism to capture the ethical mediation of CIM. The framework consists of six pillars: contextualization; identification of stakeholders; providing solution; action-mobilising solidarity; deconstruction of ethnic, gender and postcolonial hierarchy; vocalization. This paper will contribute to building a framework that delivers fairer flow of information reducing bias situated in CIM discourses and that is migration-sensitive and leads solidarity, building friendly environment to understand CIM and further promoting social responsibility for climate change.

  • Transnational Finnish Mobilities: Proceedings of Finnforum XI
    Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen This volume is based on a selection of papers presented at Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) the conference FinnForum XI: Transnational Finnish Mobili- ties, held in Turku, Finland, in 2016. The twelve chapters dis- cuss two key issues of our time, mobility and transnational- ism, from the perspective of Finnish migration. The volume is divided into four sections. Part I, Mobile Pasts, Finland and Beyond, brings forth how Finland’s past – often imagined TRANSNATIONAL as more sedentary than today’s mobile world – was molded by various short and long-distance mobilities that occurred FINNISH MOBILITIES: both voluntarily and involuntarily. In Part II, Transnational Influences across the Atlantic, the focus is on sociocultural PROCEEDINGS OF transnationalism of Finnish migrants in the early 20th cen- tury United States. Taken together, Parts I and II show how FINNFORUM XI mobility and transnationalism are not unique features of our FINNISH MOBILITIES TRANSNATIONAL time, as scholars tend to portray them. Even before modern communication technologies and modes of transportation, migrants moved back and forth and nurtured transnational ties in various ways. Part III, Making of Contemporary Finn- ish America, examines how Finnishness is understood and maintained in North America today, focusing on the con- cepts of symbolic ethnicity and virtual villages. Part IV, Con- temporary Finnish Mobilities, centers on Finns’ present-day emigration patterns, repatriation experiences, and citizen- ship practices, illustrating how, globally speaking, Finns are privileged in their ability to be mobile and exercise transna- tionalism. Not only is the ability to move spread very uneven- ly, so is the capability to upkeep transnational connections, be they sociocultural, economic, political, or purely symbol- ic.

The country’s technology-heavy industries and tech-savvy culture have led Swedish PR agencies to quickly adopt online tools in campaigns for clients. And that has, in turn, enabled Swedish PR practitioners to move ahead of their European competitors in online sophistication. In fact, Sweden is so interested in social media and building an online community that the country’s Twitter feed was lauded in a New York Times article. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/06/11/world/europe/many-voices-of-sweden-via-twitter.html?_r=1 A different citizen, ranging from 16 to 60 years old, manages Sweden’s official Twitter handle, @Sweden, each week. The program, called Curators of Sweden, was created to present the country to the rest of the world on Twitter. It shows how Swedish citizens embrace technology and online communities, using them to reach out to all parts of the globe. However, like many people who practice public relations today, Swedish practitioners struggle to find the best ways to measure the impact of their work.

Im schwedischen Schauspiel “Alle Conclusions Fußnoten Bedlegrannas Spegel” von 1647 treten jedoch eher negative Vorstellungen von brutalen und kriminellen Finnen zu Tage. In diesem Aufsatz soll zur Startseite versucht werden zu klären, wie und weshalb ein solch negatives Image entstehen konnte. Indem untersucht wird, wie im Ausland und in Schweden verfasste Schriften Finnen darstellten und insbesondere wie Finnen in den lokalen schwedischen Gemeinschaften gesehen wurden, wird deutlich, dass sie durch ihre andersartige Sprache und ihre generell schwächere wirtschaftliche und soziale Stellung in den Augen wohlhabender schwedischer Kreise, die die sozialen Grenzen zwischen aufrichtigen und unredlichen Menschen festlegten, zu Fremden wurden.

  • Government Communication 2011/12:56 a Coordinated Long-Term Strategy for Roma Skr
    Government communication 2011/12:56 A coordinated long-term strategy for Roma Skr. inclusion 2012–2032 2011/12:56 The Government hereby submits this communication to the Riksdag. Stockholm, 16 February 2012 Fredrik Reinfeldt Erik Ullenhag (Ministry of Employment) Key contents of the communication This communication presents a coordinated and long-term strategy for Roma inclusion for the period 2012–2032. The strategy includes investment in development work from 2012–2015, particularly in the areas of education and employment, for which the Government has earmarked funding (Govt. Bill. 2011/12:1, Report 2011/12:KU1, Riksdag Communication 2011/12:62). The twenty-year strategy forms part of the minority policy strategy (prop. 2008/09:158) and is to be regarded as a strengthening of this minority policy (Govt. Bill 1998/99:143). The target group is above all those Roma who are living in social and economic exclusion and are subjected to discrimination. The whole implementation of the strategy should be characterised by Roma participation and Roma influence, focusing on enhancing and continuously monitoring Roma access to human rights at the local, regional and national level. The overall goal of the twenty-year strategy is for a Roma who turns 20 years old in 2032 to have the same opportunities in life as a non-Roma. The rights of Roma who are then twenty should be safeguarded within regular structures and areas of activity to the same extent as are the rights for twenty-year-olds in the rest of the population. This communication broadly follows proposals from the Delegation for Roma Issues in its report ‘Roma rights — a strategy for Roma in Sweden’ (SOU 2010:55), and is therefore also based on various rights laid down in international agreements on human rights, i.e.

It is possible for the majority of Europeans to study, work, or retire in any of the 28 European Union (EU) member states, as well as in Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, and Liechtenstein. Europe is thus a unique area, where sovereign states have given parts of their legislative power to supranational institutions and have given up one of the fundamental rights that define a nation state – that of deciding who can cross its borders. Increased mobility to other EU member states after Finland joined the European Economic Area (EEA) in 1994 and the EU in 1995 testifies to the fact that also Finns are taking advantage of the free movement regime. This sociological study examines the labour market experiences of one intra- European migrant group: highly skilled Finns who have moved to other EU15 countries. Based on two consecutive Working in Europe online surveys (2008, 2010) and 18 migrant interviews, this study addresses three empirical questions: “Why do highly skilled Finns move abroad?”, “How do highly skilled Finns find work in the EU15 countries?”, and “What kinds of skills and qualifications ease or impede labour market access and what kinds of jobs do these Finns work in?” The recognition of skills, educational qualifications and work experience, i.e.
