Biography
I am an ESRC-funded PhD candidate with a background in the anthropology of body modification (MPhil with Distinction, Cambridge) and in embodiment research, comparative politics and the history of political thought (First Class BA, Cambridge). My current research concerns the Finnish radical right, with a focus on historiography, digital trajectories and engagements with philosophy and political science. Beyond academia, I have worked in publishing and political consultancy in Helsinki, as well as in clinical consultancy in London. I also serve as Postgraduate President of the Cambridge University Social Anthropology Society (CUSAS) and represent the University in competitive Tae Kwon Do.
