Description of research and teaching
Postdoctoral researcher in three projects:
DAIA project @ University of Helsinki (skills production in South Africa & mapping development of industrial training)
Speculative social science fiction of digitalization in higher education: Towards a humanized digital future @ Tampere University.
FEDORAS Academy @ University of Helsinki: Developing future-oriented sustainability and STEAM education (Erasmus+). Work package leader (WP2). Info TBA.
One of my main points of interest is the relationship between futures, technology and education, such as education with and about humane technology and societal change. My earlier work concerns developing future-oriented science education.
