Understanding Cultural Disengagement in Contemporary Finland
Duration: 9/2017–2/2021, Funding: Finnish Cultural Foundation, City of Helsinki Urban Facts and the Academy of Finland (postdoctoral researcher’s project)
PI: Riie Heikkilä
The DISFIN project aimed at understanding the reasons behind the common yet not often systematically explored lack of cultural activities. The empirical data collected for the project included both focus groups (n=9) and individual interviews (n=40) which have been archived at the Finnish Social Science Data Archive (FSD). The DISFIN project has produced two journal articles (see Publications), and there is a book in progress for Palgrave.
