I work as a postdoctoral researcher and university lecturer in education. My current research project focuses on political parties as educators and party members' learning ('Member Education in Finnish Parliamentary Parties - extent, aims and pathways to Power' Academy of Finland 2021-2024). In my previous research, I have mostly been interested in popular education (Finnish 'vapaa sivistystyö', Swedish 'folkbildning'), especially from the participants' perspectives. At the moment, my research draws on practice theories and ethnographic approaches.
