Description of research and teaching
I am working as a full time doctoral candidate within the History and Cultural Heritage program in the University of Helsinki since January 2019.
In my dissertation, I research how the ideas of British Regular Army officers about their identity and role developed during and as a result of the Great War.
My specialty is employing psychological theories and research results as tools for better understanding history.
I also maintain a blog with updates every few weeks about various topics, especially concerning the relationship between rationality and historians. https://blogs.helsinki.fi/tekemallatehtyahistoriaa/
