RESEARCH
I am currently working in an interdisciplinary research project "Data Literacy for Responsible Decision-Making (DATALIT)". The starting point of the project is the idea that data literacy consists of understanding what data is and the key socio-legal-technical issues related to it. This is a basis for ethical and evidence-based decision-making. In this project, we analyse the key ethical concepts – like privacy – in different technical, social, and legal contexts and explore how public authorities can employ data in socially sustainable ways.
In 2020 I worked as a post doc researcher in the project “Data driven society in the making” at the University of Eastern Finland. The project studied implementation of data-driven practices, learning algorithms and artificial intelligence in health care and social services.
My PhD-project, completed in 2019, provides knowledge of the ways how biomedical research, and thus knowledge production, is reorganized through biobanks. I have asked: What kind of knowledge production do biobanks promote and how. I have paid attention to the different ways biobank samples are seen to matter for biomedical research and development: first, through their “high quality”, second, through their “Finnishness” and third, through the expected realization of translational medicine.
My other recent projects have been “Good(s) for Health – Personalized health services and flexible appropriation of bioinformation”. In this project I concentrated on the novel objects of biomedicine and biomedical innovation and collaborative science.
TEACHING
I am qualified teacher and during the past years I have been teaching sociology and STS for both doctoral and master's students as well as bachelor's students. I have also taught at the Open University of the University of Helsinki. Over the years I have also been responsible for course coordination, literature seminars, and served as visiting lecturer in sociology.
