Beskrivning

I am a doctoral researcher and project researcher specializing in the long-term history of energy and society. My focus lies in understanding how sociotechnical imaginaries and cultural visions of the future have shaped transitions toward fossil fuels – particularly oil – and how those historical trajectories continue to influence us today. My teaching has covered topics such as sustainable development, the Arctic and Nordic regions, and Finnish history. I am also active in academic service and advocacy, particularly in supporting early-career researchers. 🧭 My key areas of expertise include: - Environmental and energy history - Sociotechnical imaginaries and historical energy policy - Archival research and historical methodology - University-level teaching and curriculum development - Scientific writing and science communication - Thesis supervision and academic evaluation - Event and community coordination in academic networks - Acquiring research funding - Committee work I believe that historical research plays a crucial role in making sense of societal change. I’m open to opportunities for research collaboration, teaching, and contributing to conversations that bridge the past with current environmental and energy challenges.
