I'm a cultural historian, PhD and postdoctoral researcher at the University of Turku. I have published a monograph dissertation about the early diaries of Kirsti Teräsvuori (1899–1988) as well as articles about the history of life writing and diaries. Currently, I’m working as a postdoctoral researcher in a research project called “A Grove of Stories – Sagalund. Museum of the Home, Environment and Life Narrational Time”.
My research interests include autobiographical sources (such as diaries), biographical research, connections between life and narration, cultural history of life writing, personal history archives, memory studies, history of (mental)illness, history of emotions and gender history. I’m also interested in creative and participatory research methods.
