Mar 24, 2024: Newspaper article in the Finnish public broadcaster Yle Uutiset
In a recent newspaper article, titled “Radically ordinary life” (in Finnish: Radikaalin tavallinen elämä), the Finnish national public broadcaster Yle Uutiset features an interview with Ria-Maria Adams about young people who have decided to stay in their rural Arctic hometowns. The piece also draws on her joint article with Teresa Komu.
According to Adams’ Ph.D. research, for young people in small communities in northern Finland, a ‘good life’ can mean finding peace in nature, feeling the support of their community, and being able to create their own lives without following the norm of migrating into urban cities.
