My research interests include popular geopolitics, narrative regions, postcolonial studies, ethnic minorities, geographical studies of humour and literary geography. Research materials and themes have included northern literatures, Muhammed cartoons, Meänkieli speaking minorities, northern music, border films, film reviews and crisis events. I work also as an editor in an interdisciplinary open-access e-journal Literary Geographies.
