“…The community and belonging to it can also be seen as a start for something new. In a study concerning folk high school students who entered a totally new community (Lövgren, 2019), it was possible for students to set aside limitations represented by earlier identifications, leave room for modulation of identification and open for identity work that crosses borders. If this works with students, it can also work among staff if the base, aims, and vision are clear for all.…”

“…Wenger-Trayner and Wenger-Trayner (2015) introduced a concept of boundary-oriented pedagogy which stands for the demands of learning in the twenty-first century and challenges school systems to focus on how to educate for boundary meetings and crossing of borders. The same idea could fit well to identity: we need boundaries of communities to constitute meeting points where dynamic identity formation is intensified (see Lövgren, 2019).…”

Universities and universities of applied sciences form the higher education sector in Finland. New HE communities in which both sectors cooperate were formed in the latest reform. Our interest is in community feeling and connectedness taking place inside four such new organisations. The research question is: which are the promoters of and obstacles to communality in merged higher education institutions in Finland from the university of applied sciences staff´s point of view? The data is gathered from 42 key persons. The analysis is done in a qualitative way. As promoters, we found spaces, dignity, shared goals, and action. The obstacles were haste, lack of trust, unfamiliarity, and use of spaces. Spaces seem to play a big role: they serve as promoters and obstacles. They can serve as a source for recognition and one´s meaningful share but also as a place to get to know each other and promote action towards goals. And vice versa. Anyway, feeling connectedness is an important source for creating social identity. Article visualizations:<img src="/-counters-/soc/0049/a.php" alt="Hit counter" />
