Research
I currently work in a research project studying the historical development of the Finnish human-forest relation.
Previously, I have worked in multidisciplinary projects which examined the Finnish human-nature relation from different perspectives in the field of humanities. My primary research interests also include the development of legal Finnish and the use of Finnish language at the turn of Medieval and Early Modern ages.
Teaching
I have given lectures mainly related to Finnish philology and lexicology.
