Teaching

At the University of Helsinki, I have created two courses and acted as a lecturer.

  • Migration and Cities (Master's level course), 5 cr., 2023
  • Lifestyle Migration, Mobilities and Identities (Master's level course, co-organised and lectured with Florencia Quesada), 5 cr., 2024

More on research:

Alongside my academic research on diasporas, transnationalism, labour market integration, high skilled migrants, identity, home and belonging, I have been also working as an ethnographic filmmaker with a focus on migrant groups. 

Latest ethnographic film I have written and directed is Arkadaşloch - Nobody's Problem (2022) which depicts the experiences of second-generation Turkish-German migrants' return migration to Turkey and re-invention of their identities through tourism work in Antalya. The documentary can be streamed via: ResearchTV

Supervision

At the University of Helsinki, I am in the PhD thesis committee of two PhD researchers:

- Euridice Hernandez Gomez, "Latin America in Helsinki: Unveilling cultural dialogues and identity navigation in the cities' social infrastructure" (2024- Present)

- Thu Nguyen, "The impact of networks and social capital on the job market experiences of highly skilled Vietnamese migrants in Finland" (2024- Present)
