I currently work as an Academic Research Fellow in my project Women´s Work and Wages in Finland, 1600 - 1920.
I am an economic and social historian specializing in the pre-industrial era. Currently, I work as an Academy Research Fellow in the research project, "Women's Work and Wages in Finland, 1600–1920", which explores the relationship between economic development and women's economic agency.
Previously, I have held positions at the Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥ as a fixed-term Senior Lecturer in History and as a Postdoctoral Researcher in a project funded by the Academy of Finland, which analyzed Finnish pre-industrial economic development. In that project, I published research on industrialization and developed historical price databases and an exchange rate converter. Additionally, I have been closely involved in a research project on the early economic history of Ylä-Savo, a sub-region in Northern Savonia. As part of this project, I co-edited an anthology on the living conditions in the region.
In 2017, I defended my doctoral dissertation, which focused on bankruptcies in the 19th century. My research examined the causes and consequences of economic misfortune and how these were addressed during the early industrialization period. As a result, my current main areas of interest include economic difficulties, work and livelihood, credit markets, gender, (in)equality, and long-term economic development.
