The central themes of my research are youth identities and youth cultures in Finland, Ukraine and Russia. Currently, I work in DECA research project’s working group, which examines the availability, reception and production of information from the perspective of Finland’s significant language minorities, and focus especially on Ukrainian- and Russian-speaking young people who have recently arrived in Finland.
