Emma Kaskinen

I work as a doctoral researcher at the Geography Research Unit in the University of Oulu. My doctoral research focuses on increasing military land use and related decision-making in the context of the Sámi homeland area in Finland.

In my research, I am interested in structures of colonialism as well as decoloniality, state theory, and feminist methodologies. My background is interdisciplinary, and I have a master’s degree in gender studies from the University of Helsinki and a bachelor’s degree in political science from Freie Universität Berlin.
