I defended my doctoral thesis Tanssiva kaupunki. Turun seurapiirit sosiaalisena näyttämönä 1810-luvulla (Dancing town. The Turku high society as a social scene in 1810s’ in English) in spring 2021. Thesis was published by The Finnish Society of Sciences and Letters and the e-version can be found at the following link: https://scientiarum.fi/eng/publications/.

At the moment, I'm working in project called Becoming a reading nation? Children’s books and educational literature in Finland, 1790-1850, where I study the history of social manners and conduct books, and how these text built the bourgeoise identity in early 19th century Finland.

I’m also part of the Opera in the periphery? Åbo and Paris as musical and theatrical capitals, 1790–1840 project led by prof. Charlotta Wolff. In this project In the project I explore the connection between sociability and theatre and examine the early theatre institution that emerged in Åbo, its spatial dimensions and how it was experienced from the perspective of the cosmopolitan social life of the bourgeoisie.
