About me

I work as a tenure track- professor of social policy and as research director at the Centre for Childhood, Youth and Family Research (Perla) in the Faculty of Social Sciences. My research focuses on the everyday life of families, livelihoods and poverty, social relations, working life and society, and social policy. I am interested in the changes brought by digitalisation. I also participate in teaching and supervision, including on courses coordinated by Perla, and the Faculty of Social Sciences. I supervise doctoral theses.

Previously I have worked as a researcher and an expert at the Universities of Tampere and Jyväskylä, and at the Jyväskylä University of Applied Sciences. Before joining Tampere University I worked as a principal lecturer at the JAMK University of Applied Sciences.

I have also worked as a research director at the Tampere University Research Centre on Working Life, as a researcher at the National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL). My international work experience includes working as an expert and consultant at the International Labour Organization (ILO) in Geneva.
