As of January 2021, I am a postdoctoral researcher in the project “Traces of Translation in the Archives” at the Finnish Literature Society (SKS).
The project (2021–2025) is funded by the Kone Foundation. The research team includes also Tommi Dunderlin, Hanna Karhu (own funding), Sakari Katajamäki, and Anne Turkia.
The research project organized an international conference, titled Trextuality: Interdisciplinary Approaches to Translated and Multilingual Texts, 7–9 September 2023. The conference was partly funded by the Federation of Finnish Learned Societies and the research project grant from the Kone Foundation. The conference webpage has been taken down, but you can still find the call for papers, the program and the book of abstracts online.
The preliminary phase of the project (1 month in 2020; PI Laura Ivaska) was funded by the Finnish Association of Translators and Interpreters (SKTL).
