Career

Nenola began her career as a senior lecturer of Folklore and Religious Studies at the University of Turku in 1982. Simultaneously she served docent for the Folklore studies at the University of Oulu from 1984.Шаблон:Sfn In the 1980s, academics from various schools developed an introductory course in women's studies, holding lectures presenting various disciplines. The events rotated between locations, and Nenola participated in the events. In 1986, a national convention of academics interested in developing a women's studies degree program was held in Kajaani to establish requirements for the degree. The first degree program was offered in 1987 in Helsinki and the following year, Nenola designed the curriculum and introduced the women's studies program in Turku.Шаблон:Sfn It was an unofficial area of study within the Department of Folklore and Religious Studies.Шаблон:Sfn Between 1990 and 1992, she directed the National Women's Studies Steering Committee for the Academy of Finland. Her duties included visiting all the universities in the country which offered courses in women's studies and recommending networking opportunities and standardization of criteria. As a result of their work, in 1991, the Kristiina Institute of Women's Research Studies was founded at the University of Helsinki to offer graduate courses in gender studies.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1992, Nenola returned as a senior lecturer to the University of Turku.Шаблон:Sfn That year, the Women's Studies Centre of Vilnius University was founded by the Lithuanian Association of University Women. The center invited academics from Scandinavia and the United States to assist in the creation of the curricula. Nenola was invited to participate from the University of Helsinki. Others involved included Berit Ås and Suzanne Lie from the University of Oslo, Inger Lövkrona representing Lund University, Isabel Marcus of the University at Buffalo, Bruce Nordstrom-Loeb from the University of Minnesota, Elżbieta Pakszys of Adam Mickiewicz University, and Hildur Ve from the University of Bergen.Шаблон:Sfn Nenola was hired in 1995 as a professor at the University of Helsinki and the director of the Kristiina Institute.Шаблон:Sfn In 1999, she was honored as a Knight, first class, of the Order of the White Rose of FinlandШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn and in 2002, she was elected to membership in the Finnish Academy of Science and Letters.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In 2003, after years of lobbying by Nenola, the women's studies program at the University of Helsinki was given full accreditation as a degree major. Though she had pressed for the program to gain autonomy, she also wanted it to be integrated within other majors, but that was not realized during her tenure.Шаблон:Sfn In 2004, Nenola moved into administration, serving as the first woman to be Dean of the Faculty of Arts at Helsinki University until 2006.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn She was awarded the Maikki Friberg Equality Award in 2006 and retired in 2007.Шаблон:Sfn

Research

Nenola examined gender systems in Finland as they were represented in both contemporary society and traditional Finnish-Karelians cultures through her exploration of folklore.Шаблон:Sfn She analyzed kinship networks and marriage customs as depicted in literature, noting that traditionally men held power and authority. Portrayals of women, even if they were the protagonist, were characterized as submissive. She found that it was typical for female characters to be morally culpable for the actions of their male counterparts.Шаблон:Sfn Her main work from the 1970s when she assisted Honko was on translations of the Ingrian Laments.Шаблон:Sfn It took 20 years to bring her thesis to final publication.Шаблон:Sfn She collected between 600 and 700 texts, mostly of wedding laments and provided both the original texts and translations into English.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Nenola examined the tradition of mourning texts as they appeared in the Ingrian region across both Finland and Russia. Rather than analyzing the socio-political battleground of the region, as was typical of other studies of the Ingrian culture, she looked at the distinct tradition of women's poetry. Employing an interdisciplinary method including anthropology, social psychology, sociology, and theology, her work sought to determine how lamentations were used in society and the meaning behind the tradition. Her approach, using techniques from women's studies were influential, and could be seen in other analysis of the genre, such as a study, Kahden maailman välillä (Between Two Worlds) by Laura Jetsu.Шаблон:Sfn

In 1966–1988 Aili Nenola was married to Jussi Kallio, and they had two children.[1] Their daughter Helena Kallio is an actor and writer.[2]
