Biography

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 on 19th century women's voluntary associations, charity work with poor children, and children's own experiences in poverty in prof. Kirsi Vainio-Korhonen's project Children's everyday experiences in poverty in 19th and 20th century Finland.



Research
In my doctoral thesis, I study the lives of the high society in Turku, Finland in the early 19th century. I examine how high society was structured, organised, and operated. I’m especially interested in the social lives of the elites and in the different customs and habits of that group. Furthermore, I examine the role of the high society in Turku and discuss the significance of gender, since it is widely known that women’s roles in the function of high society was seminal. I also focus on questions of transnationality: how different European cultural phenomena spread to Finland and how citizens of Turku settled themselves between old Swedish relations and the new Russian regime.
