I am currently working as an Academy Research Fellow at the Department of Language and Communication Studies (Ä¢¹½Ö±²¥, Finland). I work with a broad range of topics related to interculturality, race and whiteness, media representations, and sustainability. My research project on ‘’ (2022-2027, Research Council of Finland) focuses on the way race and racism materialize in everyday urban spaces across Europe in ways that contribute to (re)produce and contest existing discourses and processes of racialization.
I am a board member of the (ETMU), Associate Editor for the , and an active member of the Kielikampus Equity Team.
I am interested in the way dimensions like 'culture' are used as discursive and interactional resources to (re)produce hierarchical differences. I use different qualitative methods and draw on a wide range of disciplines such as Intercultural Communication, Cultural Studies, and Racial and Ethnic studies.
