The JMC analyzes contemporary societal, political & cultural phenomena related to USA, Canada, Mexico & the Caribbean from various transnational perspectives.
Last week, we had the pleasure of having Tytti Sulander from ETLA lead a workshop for our researchers on the connection between academics and the media. She offered valuable insights on how scholars can enhance their presence in the media sphere. Thank you Tytti!

Tuula Kolehmainen, Julia Niinistö, and Jaakko Dickman make sure that we can all commemorate these summer days by watching hundreds, if not thousands, of photographs (Kolehmainen and Niinistö in the picture). #NAASpirations #NAASpirations2025

Attended a zine-making workshop at NAAS 2025. We sat in companionable silence, listening to music, coloring, cutting, and pasting. It was a fun, relaxing, and refreshing way to think through the material I was presenting the next day. Definitely going to use this in the classroom #NAASpirations

Many thanks to @johnmortoncenter.bsky.social who did most of the work and without whom @fasafinland.bsky.social couldn't have done this conference.
