I have worked in several multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary research projects at the School of History, Culture, and Arts Studies and the Department of Philosophy, Contemporary History and Political Science, University of Turku. After earning my Ph.D. in Comparative Literature, I have worked as a University Teacher in Comparative Literature and held positions as Post-Doctoral Researcher, Senior Researcher, and Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies. 

My research focuses on gender studies and art studies. Currently, I am particularly interested in the relationship between gender, embodiment, and affect in cultural production and activism.

My teaching has focused on Comparative Literature and Gender studies (basic and intermediate studies, Master Degree Program in Gender Studies, HILMA network for Gender Studies). I have also taught on collaborative multi- and transdisciplinary courses offered at the school of History, Culture, and Arts Studies, North American Studies Program and Sote-Academy (collaborative training platform for social, healtcare, education and teaching services).
