Biography
I am a doctoral researcher at the Department of Language and Communication Studies. My research interests include multimodal critical discourse analysis, social media, peace, and conflict studies.
Research interests
My research examines how online cartoons shape democratic engagement in Nigeria and Finland, focusing on the 2023 elections. Using multimodal critical discourse analysis, I investigate how cartoons represent political actors and negotiate power imbalances. I also explore how they influence public opinion, civic involvement, and cross-cultural socio-political discourse.
