I am visiting researcher at the University of the Arts Helsinki and adjunct professor of history of popular culture at the University of Turku. In my books, including John Lennon Imagined: Cultural History of a Rock Star (Peter Lang 2004) and Pophistoria: kuinka musiikki muutti maailman ("Pop History: How Music Changed the World", Music Archive Finland 2014), I have dealt with music, identity and cultural interaction. I am currently finishing articles on the music history of Finnish Broadcast Company YLE as well as conducting research on the music heritage of the Finnish composer Jean Sibelius.
