New Head of Department

Professor of Cultural Anthropology Mats Utas has been Head of Department for the past six years. On Monday, he was succeeded in the position by media and communication researcher Mats Hyvönen. Mats Hyvönen came to the department ten years ago and has since then worked as program coordinator for the research environment Engaging Vulnerability.

We thank Mats U for a job well done and wish Mats H good luck in his new role!
