Profile

I grew up in Finland and began my studies at the University of Vienna in Austria, completing my BA at Queen Mary and MA at UCL. My thesis is provisionally titled ‘Virginia Woolf and Vanessa Bell: Refiguring the Sisterhood’, and it explores Woolf’s representations of her relationship with her sister. I am more widely interested in literary and visual modernisms, feminist criticism, and kinship studies, especially theories of sisterhood and sistering.

I co-run the monthly feminist theory reading group FACT at QMUL with Jade French.

I have also worked in translation and maintain an interest in literary translation.
