I am currently working at CCR/Hanken as a coordinator of the EDUCASE project. Funded by the Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland, EDUCASE aims to create collaboration between Finnish and African HEIs through innovative case-based courses in business and entrepreneurship.

In my PhD – ”Neoliberalism in Everyday Governmentality” (2021), I was able to show how contemporary global instruments of business governance reproduce inter-nation and inter-continental hegemonic approaches that trickle down to multiple sectors. My current post-doc research further develops my PhD findings in the education sector with a primary focus on the problematics of the institutional, policy and political paradigms that create hindrance to the development of joint business courses/curricula/programs between inter-nation and inter-continental HEIs.

My key fields of research include: Governmentality, global politics and business governance, Education policies and strategies, qualitative methodology, discourse and narrative approaches:
