Josefina Sipinen

Josefina Sipinen works as a University Lecturer in Political Science at Tampere University. She is currently involved in the research project Discontinuities in Intergenerational Transmission of Political Values in Finland (DISCO), funded by the Kone Foundation and the Finnish Cultural Foundation. The project examines intergenerational transmission of political values and attitudes in the Finnish population in general, and particularly in Russian‑ and Somali-background families in which parents and children have been socialised politically not only in different periods of time but also in different societies.
