General description
I am a doctoral researcher at the Department of Language and Communication Studies. In my PhD research, I explore language ideologies and the role of (the majority) language in the Finnish vocational education and training.
In the 2023-2024 academic year, I am a Visiting Fulbright Scholar at the University of Pennsylvania, Graduate School of Education, Educational Linguistics Division (USA). Previously, I have worked in research and development projects as well as in language teaching positions around the world: at the University of Toronto (Canada), Stockholm University (Sweden), University of Copenhagen (Denmark), University of Jyväskylä, Open University of Jyväskylä, and the Summer University of Jyväskylä (Finland).
