Biography


My current research focuses on developing ethnographic and participatory feminist methods to study human-nature relations and gendered conservation care labour.

Until the end of 2023 I was working on a postdoctoral project titled 'Embodied reproductive politics, arts-based methods and former Conservative Laestadian women' (2021-2023) at the Turku Institute of Advanced Studies (TIAS). I was also a Visiting Scholar at the ReproSoc research group, University of Cambridge, UK, during Winter-Spring (Lent Term) 2022.

I have published widely on feminist research methodology, e.g. my book 'Exploring data production in motion: Fluidity and Feminist Poststructuralism' was published by Myers Education Press in 2019.


Research

I co-write and publish within several international and interdisciplinary feminist research communities.

As a feminist scholar, I am passionate about research ethics, open-ended and collaborative ways of inquiry and questions concerning ecological crises and sustainable care ethics.
