• A situational analysis of graduate student coursework writing in two applied sciences disciplines 2025-12-05
  Abstract Research on graduate student writing (GSW) has typically focused on theses and dissertations, with less attention paid to coursework assignments (e.g., recounts, exercises, etc.), which are prioritized by students and professors as assessments and are graduate students’ first ventures into disciplinary writing. This study details the situational exploration of a corpus of academic writing […]

• Resilience in Finnish security and defence rhetoric 2025-12-05
  Abstract This paper examines Finland’s transformed security and defence policies. Following a broader European trend, Finland has begun emphasising resilience as a source of national security.

Our focus is on two government reports from 2024 that […]
• Embodied resilience and political resistance 2025-12-05
  Abstract Critical resilience studies have successfully pointed out the neoliberal individualising and depoliticising aspects of resilience. However, while viewing resilience and resistance as contradictory, little room has been left for alternative interpretations. This article addresses this gap by introducing a social movement–based perspective on embodied resilience. Drawing on the legacy of Black feminists and women […]
