My research interests are attached to everyday religiosity, the so-called lived religion and diverse forms of religiosity. In my doctoral thesis (2007), I investigated the relationship between tradition, experience and narration in the light of interview material which she compiled in a Neo-charismatic Christian congregation. Later on, I have studied the forms and cultural adaptation of the global Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity in Finland, as well as concepts of well-being, illness and healing in the context of this religious trend. My other recent studies deal with construction of religious identity and agency, the questions of religious belonging, as well as prayer as a ritual, social interaction and communication. The perspectives of my research represent social psychological, anthropological and narrative approaches of religion. Currently, I am interested also in the intersection of plants, horticulture, religion, and spirituality. Both well-being and healing as well as rituals and communication are themes that emerge also in this field.
