In my doctoral dissertation (2014, University of Turku), I studied the recovery processes of two Finnish communities after school shootings. I have also published a book Shared Experiences of Mass Shootings (Routledge) on the topic. 

After my dissertation, I have done research on the field of health sociology, focusing on vaccine refusal and hesitancy, the use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and food.

I have worked as part of the project Tracking the Therapeutic - Ethnographies of Wellbeing, Politics and Inequality (Academy of Finland 2015-2019, PI Suvi Salmenniemi), and Microbial Lives - Practices of New Human-Microbial Cultures (Kone Foundation 2019-2022, PI Salla Sariola). In 2019-2020, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Tampere University, in the project Nutrition, Expertise and Media (Academy of Finland, PI Pia Jallinoja) concerning the public debate on food and health.

I co-lead a research project called Health, knowledge and expertise (Emil Aaltonen foundation 2018-2021) together with Pia Vuolanto. This project analyzed the criticism of biomedicine related to complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) and vaccine-criticism in Finland. We combined sociological and historical perspectives, responding to the social and political need to understand these phenomena and the criticism of biomedical expertise in general as processes that are deeply historical and cultural.
