social inequality; education; children of immigrants; intergenerational inequality; quantitative methods
My research focuses on social inequalities in education and the labour market, in particular those related to ethnicity, gender and social origin. I mostly use quantitative methods in my research.
I'm co-leader of a work package in the Children First project, which has received funding from NordForsk for the years 2023–26.
I'm co-leader of a work package in the Mapping Inequalities through the Life Course (MapIneq) project, which has received funding from Horizon Europe for the years 2022–25.
I was the PI of the "Contexts of Youths' Inclusion: Understanding social participation, belonging and civic engagement in the growth environments of culturally diverse youth" project, which has received funding from the Turku Urban Research Programme for the years 2022–23. I was Academy Research Fellow, PI of the project "Children of Immigrants, Language and Integration in Europe" which received funding from the Research Council of Finland for the years 2018–2024.
I generally teach courses related to advanced quantitative methods and social inequality, including courses related to ethnicity and migration.
In the academic year 2024–25, I co-supervise Master's students working on their thesis for the INVEST Master's program (lead one of the research seminars), I co-ordinate the research seminar for the INVEST doctoral program together with Claire Garandeau, I teach a course on register data with Jani Erola, and a course on migration and ethnicity with Kirsi Peltonen. I'm also co-responsible for the internship part of the INVEST Master's program with Anna Hägglund.
