Eliisa Leskisenoja defended her thesis in education at the end of September. She is among the first to finish a PhD in one of the University’s new interdisciplinary doctoral programmes. In her research Eliisa investigated how one can get children as excited about school as they get about hobbies or friends.
Ilari Nikula, a student in the programme on Northern Cultures and Sustainable Natural Resource Policy, is doing research on the political nature of environmental discourse. He hopes his work will contribute insights into the type of governance produced when people discuss nature.
