Biography
I am a doctoral candidate at the Doctoral Programme in History, Culture and Arts Studies (Juno).
I have more than twenty years of experience in the area of social- and healthcare. I have become an expert in the treatment of individuals with neurocognitive disorders and I have also published primary textbooks on this topic. My broad range of professional experience centers around project management, Lean Coaching and leadership. I have been for several years a member of board of the Society for Memory Disorders Expertise in Finland (Suomen muistiasiantuntijat ry.).
Research
In my Ph.D. thesis I am studying how do social- and healthcare professionals define the time and the agency of the person with neurocognitive disorders. I investigate the changes in these conceptions from the 1980´s to the present day.
The research contributes to the multidisciplinary field of Medical Humanities, where it represents the qualitative research of the cultural history of illness.
