I am a grant researcher in the University of Eastern Finland since January 2022 with a grant from Kone Foundation for my doctoral research.
My doctoral research is aimed at exploring disposability, otherness, marginality, waste and their intricate relation to humanity in the context of contemporary dystopian literature (fiction and film). The aim of my research is to understand on a global scale the obsessive re/production of redundant populations across the world in this age of neo-liberal globalization and examine their precarious conditions as represented in various dystopic narratives. My dissertation is supervised by Professor Jopi Nyman and Pekka Kilpeläinen.
As a part of my doctoral researcher position at UEF, I am also teaching a course at MA level students.
