As a Doctoral Researcher with an MA in Folklore Studies from the University of Helsinki, I specialize in weather writings in historical Finnish-American newspapers from the 1880s to the 1920s, focusing on working-class Finnish migrant-settlers in the U.S. My research interests span the intersections of women’s history, the cultural history of climate, labour history, historical newspapers, and settler colonialism. My dissertation, titled "Knowing Nature: Climate, Weather, and Settler Colonialism in United States Finnish Women's Political Rhetoric," scrutinizes the political role and nature-related rhetoric of Finnish women in the Finnish Socialist Federation (FSF). I examine the historical understandings of weather and climate, and their entanglements with colonialism. My research is funded by the University of Helsinki, and my salaried doctoral researcher position includes teaching duties.Nyckelord
