I worked in WeAll-research project funded by Academy of Finland (2015-2020). The topic of the research project was equality at work (15 researchers from the universities of Helsinki, Jyväskylä and Hanken). My focus is on diverse group of non-heterosexual and trans youth and their experiences of education and work environment, as well as on texts, such as school books, curricula documents, media, research reports, and how intersectional differences and normativities are construted in them. Later, with additional funding from the Academy of Finland to WeAll, I analysed the effects of covid-19 crises to LGBTI people and organisations (2020-2021).
