My research and expertise widely address matters related to asylum: asylum seeking, asylum process and asylum politics. Currently I'm working on questions of cessation and revocation, i.e. how refugeehood legally ends. In my research, I combine my background as a communication scholar to refugee studies, by focusing especially on administrative texts related to asylum; asylum decisions among others. I am also a specialist in asylum politics and the residence permit system in Finland, and have worked and volunteered with these matters for several years also outside the academia.
