My educational background is in pedagogy and psychology, and I have always had an interest in arts. My doctoral research explores how arts-based methods can be used when working with children on sensitive topics. Many times, it’s difficult to express traumatic events through words or talk about taboo issues. I am exploring how arts come in the place where words are insufficient, and how each component in the artmaking process matters. I use participatory arts-based activities to collect data with children. I have done arts-based projects with children in Finland and in Armenia.
Education and arts are my passions, so I aim to impact children’s and education specialists’ lives by my research.
