Biography

I have been working as an assistant, a project researcher, a university teacher and a university lecturer of digital culture since 2005. My doctoral thesis (2012) considered digitalisation of media sports. At the time I am a member of the Ethics Committee of the University of Turku, a member of editorial board of journals Kulttuurintutkimus and Wider Screen and a member of the Centre of Excellence in Game Culture
Studies research group (Awarded by Academy of Finland 2018–2025).



Research

My research focuses on sports, social media, and gender – specifically, representations of female athletes, athlete activists, embodiment, and online harassment. I am also interested in issues related to online research ethics.



Teaching

Annually, I'm teaching courses about social media and online cultures, online research ethics, qualitative research methods,  and research seminar. 

I have been teaching also courses about sports and social media, online technologies and embodiment, online activism, gamification of exercise  and online communication.
