Biography


I have worked in several multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary research projects at the School of History, Culture, and Arts Studies and the Department of Philosophy, Contemporary History and Political Science, University of Turku. After earning my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature in 2012, I have worked as a University Teacher in Comparative Literature and held positions as Post-Doctoral Researcher, Senior Researcher, and Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies. 


Teaching

My teaching has focused on Comparative Literature and Gender studies (basic and intermediate studies, Master Degree Program in Gender Studies, HILMA network for Gender Studies). I have also taught on collaborative multi- and transdisciplinary courses offered at the school of History, Culture, and Arts Studies, North American Studies Program and Sote-Academy (collaborative training platform for social, healtcare, education and teaching services).

Research

My research focuses on gender studies and art studies. My current research interests include relations of gender, embodiment, and affects on cultural production and activism.
