I am also Communications Officer at the Finnish Society for Research on Adult Education (https://www.aikuiskasvatuksentutkimusseura.fi/)


My previous work experience in the field of education:

- Doctoral Researcher at the Department of Teacher Education

Research

My research interests include learning and teaching in higher education and professional development in working life, especially from the perspective of professional knowledge, identities and agency. In my PhD, I examined student and primary teachers' agency in integrating theory and practice. I am also interested in career transitions, and affect and embodiment in working life. I mainly focus on in-depth qualitative methods such as discourse, narrative, and sociomaterial analysis.

Currently, I work for the following projects:

FINSCI (Fostering Finnish Science Capital), SRC (Research Council of Finland)

SITE (Student selection and competence development in the continuum of pre-service and in-service teacher education), (Research Council of Finland)
