Wave Riders (AHA–Aallonharjalle in Finnish) is center for environmental humanities.
I work as a University Teacher of Study of Cultures at the School of History, Culture, and Arts Studies.
Previous years I have worked as a researcher in a project concerning climate change and the Baltic Sea, funded by the Tiina and Antti Herlin Foundation (2018–2020), and in the project Living with the Baltic Sea in a changing climate: Environmental heritage and the circulation of knowledge, which is funded by the Academy of Finland (2018–2022).
I have done two Master’s theses: one in Comparative Religion, in which I examined the position of the Seneca-Iroquois women before the year 1848, and the other in Education. I have also worked as a schoolteacher for fifteen years.
I spend half the year living on a small island in the Finnish archipelago, and I enjoy spending time by or at the Baltic Sea.
At present, I teach various methodological and working life courses in the Study of Culture. I supervise one doctoral thesis. I also run creative writing workshops and shamanic courses in my leisure time.
