I am a postdoctoral researcher in the research project PeaceTalk - Talk and interaction in Multinational Crisis Management Training, funded by the Academy of Finland. I study interaction in crisis management training and examine collaborative work. In my doctoral dissertation, I used ethnomethodological conversation analysis and ethnography to study practises of promoting and progressing collaborative work during United Nations Military Observer training, focusing on vehicle patrolling. My current research interests are collaborative work, multicultural working contexts, English as a lingua franca, and the development of interactional practices and competences.
