Personal profile

Description of research and teaching

I have been a doctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki since spring 2018; first as a grant-funded researcher with a doctoral research grant from the Swedish Cultural Foundation in Finland (spring 2018 - spring 2020) and I was employed by the Doctoral Program for Language Studies HELSLANG (spring 2020 - spring 2023). My primary duty has been research for my doctoral project where I have been looking into the family language policy of several transnational and immigrant multilingual families in the Swedish-speaking areas of Finland. In addition, I worked as the coordinator of the Research Seminar in Scandinavian Languages (fall 2019 - spring 2023) and a member of the steering group of the Master’s Program in Scandinavian Languages and Literatures (spring 2021 - spring 2023). I have also taught courses at the Bachelor's Program in the Languages and Literatures of Finland.
