Introduction

I am a music historian and professor of cultural study of music at the Sibelius Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki. I am particularly interested in music from a social, political and cultural perspective. My current research project deals with the music culture of Finnish immigrants in North America and Soviet Karelia from the late 19th century to the late 1930s. In addition to my research, I also work as a supervisor and teacher and am involved in various educational and research-related working groups.
