Biography
I am Academy Research Fellow and the PI of the project Networked Care: Intimate Matters in Online Mental Health Care (NetCare), funded by the Research Council of Finland (decision no. 356256) 2023-2027.
Prior to my current affiliation, I have examined e.g. intergenerational touching relations; relationship and sex counselling in Finland; and the role of technology during the Covid-19 pandemic as experienced by psychotherapists and other therapy and counselling professionals in Finland. I have also acted as a Senior Lecturer in Gender Studies.
