I am a doctoral researcher in the Doctoral Programme in School, Education, Society and Culture in University of Helsinki. My PhD research is about understanding and applying global citizenship education in upper secondary vocational education in Finland. My particular interests include youth civic engagement and controversial issues in education, as well as examining the tensions between the promotion of pluralistic perspectives and the creation of safer spaces for learning. My research interests reflect my earlier studies in humanistic and social sciences (African Studies and Global Development Studies) as well as work experience within development cooperation, global education, and internationalisation in education.
