I am an university teacher in the Open university of the University of Jyväskylä (museology), at the department of music, arts and culture studies (museology) and at the department of philosphy and social sciences (the study module of Governing, networking and making impacts in arts and culture).

Research interests

I have PhD in Ethnology (2011, University of Jyväskylä) and a Title of docent (2019, University of Turku). I am specialized in the study of the history of everyday life, gender history and media history in the Finnish context with methods and materials of oral history, media studies and archival research. I have studied history of the women's wearing of trousers, history of Finnish second-wave activism and history of Finnish women's magaizines.
