Hi! My name is Fon.
Pronouns: they/them
I'm here to support Hanken's goal of becoming a more equitable and inclusive higher education institution.
You can contact me with any feedback and suggestions you may have related to DEI at Hanken.
Alongside their duties at Hanken, Fon is a doctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki. Their PhD project examines linguistic practices for diversity and inclusion within the Aalto University student body, with a particular focus on power asymmetry, and multilingual communication in internationalized institutional contexts.
Before embarking on their doctorate, Fon spent a decade working in migrant integration in Finland and continues to work in roles advancing university DEI alongside their doctoral studies. Their work bridges academic research and grassroots practice, bringing a grounded, community-oriented perspective to questions of belonging, epistemic justice, and linguistic inclusion.
