Tutkimuksen ja opetuksen kuvaus

I am a sociolinguist interested particularly in language attitudes and ideologies, and language and gender. In my PhD dissertation, I examined generic and nonbinary pronouns in English, focusing especially on language attitudes. In my postdoctoral projects I have explored identity construction in various settings, gender-exclusive language in Finnish, hateful online commentary, and training datasets used in language-based machine learning. I currently lead the FINGEL project (Gender-exclusive language in Finnish) as an Academy Research Fellow. I also work with project LAIF (Language Awareness and Ideologies in Finland).

I work both with survey and corpus data, and I am skilled in both qualitative and quantitative approaches, with a particular interest in mixed methods research.

My pronouns are: she/her.
