My research focuses on information practices, such as information seeking, evaluation, creation and sharing, in everyday life and in life transitions. My postdoctoral research is part of Kone Foundation funded project "Artificial Intelligence mediating the everyday information practices of young people" (2024-2028) led by professor Noora Hirvonen. This project makes use of a nexus analytic research strategy and co-research methods to study AI systems in the everyday lives of young people with an emphasis on the information practices that are reshaped due to the use of these technologies.
In my doctoral research I investigated transgender people's embodied information practices during life transition. My doctoral research was funded by the Kone Foundation.
