Personal profile
Description of research and teaching
I am a Science and Technology Studies scholar drawing from sociologies of medicine/health and illness, law and society, and to a lesser degree from sociology of insurance.
My current project (2023-2025) is studying insurance medicine: using qualitative methodology, I focus on the interaction of medicine, insurance and law in varied institutional contexts of dispute resolution.
I am also engaged (2024-2025) in an interdisciplinary research project that uses computational methods to model cross-disciplinary diffusion of knowledge.
My dissertation (2020) handled medical expertise in Helsinki District court from the perspective of science and technology studies, with emphasis on judges' evaluation of evidence, advanced MRI technology, and clinical practice guidelines in court.
I teach and coordinate a post graduate course on science, expertise and society at University of Helsinki.
