Welcome to my Wikiversity page!
My name is Annaliina Gynne and I am a PhD student in Didactics at Mälardalen University and Örebro University, Sweden. My research concerns bilingual (Sweden Finnish) adolescents and their multiculturalism, literacy practices and identity construction. I started my PhD studies in January 2009.

This page includes texts reflecting on themes such as culture, identity, intersectionality, categorization and multilingualism. I use the page mainly for publishing reading logs and other texts that have been written at the courses KOIIA 1 and KOIIA 2 (Communication and Identity Issues in Institutionalized Arenas) at Örebro University. The course syllabuses and literature lists can be found in the following links: and  Both of the courses are a part of my PhD studies. This page will be built up during the following five years as I am working with my PhD studies until 2013. N.B.! Some of the texts are written in Swedish.

KOIIA 1
This course, though thematically a predecessor to KOIIA 2, finally suited my schedule for the spring term 2011, so I am actually studing these issues in reverse order. At this point (prior to course start) I am rather excited to see how not only my scientific thinking but also relation to working with Wikiversity have changed since last time.

Final paper KOIIA II
My final paper discusses representability and authenticity in research on ethnolinguistic minorities. Inspired by Diana Mulinari's lecture, I have done a small-scale charting of current units of research, researchers and recently published dissertations about Sweden Finns and Tornedalians. After presenting the charting I then move on to looking for answers to questions such as "Is minority research a question of rights of representability and authenticity?" The paper can be found through clicking the link below.
