Biography

My research is focused on democracy education from the perspectives of critical pedagogy, feminism and philosophy of dialogue. I have researched practices and philosophical principles of democracy education, science education and feminist irony. My dissertation focused on the philosophy of Jacques Rancière and its relevance to Finnish democracy education.

My work is currently funded by Finnish Cultural Foundation. Our two year project Architechts of Utopia is based on Philosophy for Children (P4C/PwC) tradition and based in Central Finland.

In fall semester 2026 I teach the basic studies of social sciences and philosophy (YFI Hackathon) as well as two courses in education and psychology department: Education, Ethics, and Moral Education and Responsible and Sustainable Expertise. You can also contact me for quest lectures in democracy education.
