Juha Suoranta

I am a Professor of Adult Education and work at the Faculty of Social Sciences (Degree Program of Social Sciences), Tampere University. I study and teach social science methodology, public sociology, and critical pedagogy. People use their sociological imagination to solve social problems and promote social justice in all these fields.

I am a principal investigator in the Academy of Finland's research project, Speculative social science fiction of digitalization in higher education: Towards a humanized digital future 2021–2025 (see https://doi.org/10.1007/s42438-021-00260-6).
