General description
I have a Title of Docent in political science, PhD in political science and MA in art education. Currently I am JYU's consortium PI in a research project dArts (dialoguing@rts – Advancing Cultural Literacy for Social Inclusion through Dialogical Arts Education) funded by the HorizonEurope Programme. Previously I have worked in several multidisciplinary research projects funded by the Academy of Finland, Kone Foundation, European Research Council and HorizonEurope. I was a visiting fellow in the University of Bologna (2021), European University Institute in Florence (2018) and the University of Auckland, New Zealand (2012-13, 2015-16). I have acted as a member and a convener in the steering committee of the Citizenship standing group in the European Consortium of Political Research and as a member and a vice-chair in the board of the Society for Cultural Studies in Finland. I was editor in chief in the Politiikka journal (2021-22) and am currently member of the editorial staff of the journal Kulttuurintutkimus. I am a local leader of the Experiencing Europe Lab in a research alliance fostering transnational higher education and mobility (FORTHEM), funded by the European Universities Initiative under the Erasmus+ programme. I work as a lecturer in cultural policy and I teach also in museology and the MA programme of Cultural Environment Studies.
