Biography

I work as coordinator for the ACACIA Research Project (jyu.fi/acacia). I am responsible for the project communication and its visual appearance in social media.

Research interests

My academic interest includes visual cultures and communication, visual literacy, press photography, and visual research methods. As a dedicated academic teacher of these topics, I advocate for more visual and collaborative teaching in the university. I hold the Title of Docent in Visual Literacy from Tampere University. Since Sept. 2021, I am part of the management team of the ECREA Visual Cultures Section. In recognition of my active involvement in outstanding research that furthers the cause of visual literacy, I received the 2021 Research Award from the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA).
