Personal profile
Research interests
I am professor in environmental governance and policy within The Sea profiling area and the head of subject in public leadership at the Faculty of Social Sciences, Business and Economics, and Law. I am also vice director of the SÅA Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Ocean Science (SOS). My research interests cover governance of sustainability transitions in multilevel governance contexts. My research focuses on the dynamics of governance and policymaking as well as on the politics of knowledge, and learning. My recent project portfolio includes a project Towards a Sustainable Finnish Re-manufacturing Industry (Business Finland 2025-2027), Gendered norms and practices in Baltic and Nordic climate policy institutions (Nordforsk 2024-2027), two research projects funded by the Research Council of Finland, SeaHer (2018-2022) and Package-Heroes (packageheroes.fi, 2018-2023), a project funded by the Turku Urban Research Programme (2022-2024), and a research project funded by Tiina & Antti Herlin Foundation (2018-2019, 2021). In addition, I partner in several other multidisciplinary research projects related to marine environment, climate change, local governance, stakeholder involvement and marine protection, most importantly the HE project Protect Baltic (2023-2027).
