I take a special interest in urbanism, vernacular culture and photography.
I am currently doing research on representations of Europe. It is a project on Histories, Images and Europeans. It includes a project Eurosigns - Branding Euro(pe) from above, below and sideways. My other current interest are call shops and small scale entrepreneurs. I am also working on a PhD dissertation The Market for Quackery in Finland at the Beginning of the 20th Century (University of Helsinki).
