Information Publications

I am an associate professor in social and public policy at the department of social sciences. I am also the deputy director of the UEF’s  Borders, Mobilities and Cultural Encounters (BOMOCULT) research community.

My research is oriented towards international migration, ethnic relations, bordering processes, diversity, embodiment, as well as participatory and creative methods. Over the years, I have studied  topics, such as integration, racism and anti-racism, media use, everyday security, Russian nationality politics and international migration into rural areas.

The central theme of my research is the politicisation of migration issues and understanding how societal changes impact people’s everyday lives. Most recently, I have shifted my research focus towards the issues of security and conflicts. My teaching mainly relates to the above-mentioned themes.

I am a qualified body-oriented work supervisor (työnohjaaja STOry), and I gladly support colleagues and students with issues related to well-being at work.
