Biography
Researcher with pedagogical qualifications in adult education, work councellor (solution and strength-based approach), and lisenced social worker.
I am currently studying case management in the project Case Management with Older Adults in Wellbeing Counties – Developing Customer-Safe and Effective Case Management in Changing Places and Spaces (IPO). I am also involved in research on media and robot literacies in the project Media and Robot Literacies of People Over 65 Years of Age (MediaRoboLit 65+), and I am a member of the research group at the Centre of Excellence in Research on Ageing and Care (CoE AgeCare, University of Jyväskylä).
My research themes include the relationship between individuals and place, older adults’ housing pathways, communal living, participation, and vulnerability. My most recent work focuses on care as a professional practice, social work methods, and the effects of digitalisation and technologisation in care work and social services.
