PRESENTATIONS & LECTURES


My topic of interest is adult development research in general, and philosophical and psychologif wisdom development. I especially focus on the  Holistic Wisdom Model (Kallio & Tynjälä, 2025 & 2026).  I often include experiential material, as well as reflective discussion,  in my lectures and presentations.

Superficial, meaningless chatter is everywhere. And we can always ask AI all sorts of questions. But there’s little desire to pause and reflect deeply  —on your own.


MY BACKGROUND


At its core, the question “Who am I?” is a philosophical one.

Like most people, however, I answer the question from an external perspective. I am a philosophical practitioner, a coach in training, a tai chi/qigong instructor & trainer, and a researcher of wisdom.  In terms of my academic background, I am an associate adjunct professor of adult developmental psychology at the Universities of Jyväskylä and Tampere (https://www.jyu.fi/fi/henkilot/eeva-k-kallio). I am currently working on the Academy of Finland project Wisdom in Practice (2022–2026), and I am the director of its psychological sub-project. I also lead the research group Wisdom and Learning at the Finnish Institute for Educational Research. My research focuses on the study of wisdom and the development of adult thinking from both psychological and philosophical perspectives. I am a founding member and the first (honorary) president of ESRAD (European Society for Research in Adult Development). Also, keen trainer of taiji and qigong for decades, as well as keen discussant!
