Nita Taivaloja

I am a PhD student in the Doctoral Programme of Gender, Culture and Society (SKY). My research interests focus on gender, sexuality and relationship diversities and the norms surrounding them. 

In my PhD study I examine how consensual non-monogamy is constructed among general population and how individuals engaged in consensually non-monogamous relationships talk about sexual, emotional and romantic relationships in relation to mononormativity in Finland. The theoretical and methodological underpinnings of my study are in intersectionality, social constructionism and critical discursive psychology.
