In the spirit of combining fieldwork with academic networking, the team visited IREMAM (@univamu) while in Marseille. We had a lovely meeting with director Richard Jacquemond, prof.(emer) Françoise Lorcerie, and senior researcher Thomas Pierret. European Research Council (ERC) @TampereUniSOC

In addition to close contact with the locals, dialogue with practitioners and policymakers is important to us. Today we participated in the final seminar of #Tampere city's urban development program. Ideas on our project's social impact started forming! European Research Council (ERC) @TampereUni

Rather than a place, location or group, community is about mundane routines and practices that enable people to form a sense of belonging, writes @EevaPuumala in Politiikasta. (in 🇫🇮) The text is part of collaborative series with EKOS project. European Research Council (ERC) Ympäristöministeriö

Our team had intensive two days in Eskilstuna. We visited youth centers, toured around the Årby neighbourhood, and gave a presentation to the democracy network at the Mälardalen university. Got great insight into the city's current issues. European Research Council (ERC) @TampereUni_SOC

Our researchers Anna Sofia Suoranta and Ebru Sevik give a Studia Generalia lecture on urban everyday peace in socially mixed urban neighborhoods. Make sure to tune in online or come to listen on site! 📅: Feb 7, 17-19 (Finnish time), online link below European Research Council (ERC) @TampereUni

The beginning of the experimental stage of our project is almost here! 🤩 Soon, we'll be digging into #affective dynamic of #coexistence in contemporary societies. Thank you European Research Council (ERC) for enabling our experimental, and hopefully groundbreaking, work! @TampereUni

Now happening - Anna Sofia Suoranta and Ebru Sevik discussing urban everyday peace through their research examples from Helsinki and Malmö. The approach adds an important dimension to coexistence in the city, not focusing solely or mainly on safety. @TAU_STUE @TampereUniSOC

Today is a big day for our project: Bruno Lefort presents the research agenda we've developed for the first time to broader public at #ISA2023. The agenda will pave way for the retheorisation of community that lies at the heart of our work. European Research Council (ERC) @TampereUniSOC

The #ISA2023 panel on Everyday peacebuilding was all about getting to know nice colleagues and inspiring exchange of ideas.💯 Thank you to the other presenters SungYong Lee, Maira Siman Gomes, Renata Summa, Matheus Souza, Kristina Tschunkert, and thechair @rogermacginty.

Our project had the honour of presenting its work to the research community at Iremam, Aix-Marseille Université. Karim Maiche also discussed his own research focus on #urban #encounters and the role of non-verbal communication in them.

In addition to the team, Expert Board plays a crucial role in the project. The EB's generosity and willingness to think with us is invaluable for our multidisciplinary work! During his trip to Montreal, Bruno Lefort could meet with Joelle Zahar in person.✨

Our project was part of developing these research-based concepts and tools for supporting eco-social sustainability in policy-making and practice. Great to see our research also in a slightly different form! 🤩

Heartfelt congratulations to our team member Bruno Lefort for receiving Suomen Akatemia | Research Council of Finland research funding! ✨ Bruno's new project Rethinking Coexistence from the Margins builds on research started with us and collaboration will continue in the future. 🤩 European Research Council (ERC) Tampere Centre for Societal Sustainability (TaSSu)

Still time to submit an abstract for the 2023 Social Policy conference in October, in Tampere. DL: 8.9. Our workshop: "The Construction of Communities and Everyday Vulnerabilities in Urban Encounters" by Karim Maïche & Johanna Hokka. Do join! 💯 See: events.tuni.fi/sosiaalipoliti…

Our @erc_research project is moving steadily forward: the experimental phase is about to begin with full force. Yesterday we filmed a video introducing the project's methodological span and presenting our ethnographic findings. @TampereUni HIP Lab Tampere University @TampereUniSOC

Our project is also present(ed) in the ERC's Annual Conference on Research on Diversity and Diversity in Frontier Research. Check out the program and remember to register! @TampereUni Tampere Centre for Societal Sustainability (TaSSu)
