Theme volume Ethnology and Policy-Making
Ethnologia Fennica Vol. 48, Issue 1 (Spring 2021)
The theme of the Ethnologia Fennica Spring 2021 issue is Ethnology and Policy-Making. Today, all scientific research must make an impact beyond academia. Research projects are expected to produce knowledge in concrete forms such as policy recommendations. This can be a challenge for qualitative humanistic fields such as ethnology, which is interested in individual experiences. On the other hand, the emphasis on personal experiences also acknowledges diversity and multiple voices. Based on ethnological research, researchers can make suggestions for more humane and inclusive policy-making practices.
The Spring 2021 issue of Ethnologia Fennica calls for articles that discuss ethnology and policy-making from various perspectives. How can research results be used in policy-making? What kinds of research are we expected to produce? What could policy-relevant research be in ethnology and related disciplines? We welcome texts that scrutinize the processes of decision-making, the ways in which research can be used in policy-making, cases in which research is expected to produce knowledge of specific social issues, and analysis of collaboration with different interest groups that participate in or are excluded from decision-making processes. We also encourage texts that engage with research funding and its political agendas.
Please note that in every issue we also publish articles outside the theme, and you can submit your manuscript at any time. All article submissions from European Ethnology and related fields are welcome.
