About me

I am a political philosopher at the University of Helsinki. I earned my DPhil in practical philosophy (social and moral philosophy). I have also worked as a university teacher and lecturer of Pedagogy of Philosophy and Worldview Education at the Faculty of Education. Before my academic career, I have worked as a subject teacher and adult educator.

I am interested in political and institutional change in the era of global crises, focusing especially on questions of education, future generations and children, as well as methodology of educational ethics. My research has so far focused on political and ethical aspects of education and schooling as well as pedagogy of philosophy and ethics, such as Philosophy for/with Children.

I am currently based at the Discipline of Practical Philosophy, Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Helsinki. I am also affiliated with the Helsinki Inequality Initiative and AGORA research centre.

A fact about me that you might not have guessed: I own an ATV (all-terrain vehicle, mönkkäri) and specifically enjoy ploughing snow at the wintertime.
