I work as the Coordinator for Sustainability Science Days (SSD), which is co-organized between University of Helsinki & Aalto University. Thus, I get the pleasure of working with both Institutions. Please see www.sustainabilitysciencedays.fi to learn more about SSD.
In addition, I am PhD candidate in the Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Doctoral Programme (DENVI) in affiliation with the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry and Helsinki Institute of Sustainability Science (HELSUS). I worked as the project coordinator from 2019-2022 for the Global Extractivisms and Alternatives Initiative (EXALT) at the Faculty of Social Sciences. I am still a co-host of the EXALT Initiative podcast, a monthly conversation with academics, artists, and activists (www.exalt.fi).
I have many research interests including:
On the broadest level my work studies food systems. This discipline brings together ecological, social, cultural, political, and economic aspects. I specifically combine rural sociology and human geography methods to examine the socio-cultural aspects of food system redesign in the modern countryside. From rural sociology, I borrow ethnographic techniques to build an intimate understanding of the people involved in the food system. From human geography, I utilize spatial tools, like participatory mapping to understand individual’s conceptualizations of locality as it relates to food. I marry these methods to understand the potential socio-cultural barriers to food system redesign in the Finnish countryside.
I have co-organized several different courses including:
Doctoral level courses for the DENVI and PSRC doctoral programs at University of Helsinki, including:
In addition, I have served as Teaching Assistant at University of Helsinki and University of Montana.
