Research
My educational background is as a PhD researcher focusing on minority themes. Humans in the past and present, as well as their role in various contexts, have always fascinated me. I ultimately graduated with a PhD in general history from the University of Helsinki in 2016. For my doctoral thesis, I researched the social work carried out by a French Order of nuns called the Daughters of Charity (Les Filles de la Charité) in the 17th century from the perspectives of gender, power, and values.
As a postdoctoral researcher, I’ve written on topics including queer nuns in 17th-century France and lesbian-like women in Finland at the turn of the 20th century. I have also taught and supervised theses. Highlighting the voices of minorities in my research, considering students’ diversity and inclusive learning methods have proven to be key motivators for my work at the university.
