Saksan kieli rakastaa Turkua – ja Turku saksaa ❤️

🎓 Saksan kieli on valtti työelämässä ja avain Euroopan sydämeen.

👉 Lue Turun yliopiston Kieli- ja käännöstieteiden laitoksen saksan kielen tiimin juttu Turun Sanomista:

#saksankieli

Saksa oli pitkään tärkein vieras kieli, eikä Turkukaan näyttäisi samalta ilman saksalaista kädenjälkeä

Saksa oli Suomelle tärkeä kauppakumppani jo keskiajalla. Nykyään saksan kielen taito on valtti työelämässä, minkä lisäksi se avaa ovia monen eri maan kulttuuriin.

🎧 The persistent underrepresentation of #GlobalSouth scholars in leading English-language #journals is the focus of our latest podcast episode. From editorial appointments to peer review practices, structural biases continue to shape who gets published and whose knowledge is valued.
