Information om forskning och undervisning

I am currently finalizing my dissertation in the field of Gender Studies, in the Doctoral Programme in Gender, Culture, and Society (SKY) at the University of Helsinki. In my research, I combine narrative hermeneutics with queer migration studies to investigate narrative practices around queer asylum and refugee politics and policies in research, activism and advocacy work. I analyze queer asylum and refugee narratives in media, documentary films, novels, and art projects from feminist and queer perspectives.

I have taught the introductory course on gender studies at the gender studies master's programme as well as courses and lectures on gender and culture, feminist research on violence, and narrative methods.
