Biography

I have worked as a project researcher at the Kokkola University Consortium Chydenius since 2021. Before that I worked in child welfare services.

My research interests focuses on immigration in rural areas. I started my doctoral research in 2017. In my research I am interested how the local communities acted when a reception center were established in local context.
