Her research explores how race, class, and gender shape East-West migration dynamics, particularly post-Soviet youth and Ukrainian labor migrants. She analyzes whiteness claims, racial capitalism, and migrant participation in global hierarchies through fieldwork in Helsinki and Warsaw. Her recent works examine Europeanisation as structural violence and life-making strategies during crises.
Project trends include: (1) Ukrainian migration (post-2022 labor/care work in Warsaw), (2) Racial capitalism (historical continuities in labor exploitation), (3) Postsocialist identity (whiteness performance in Helsinki), and (4) Border politics (critiques of EU migration securitization).
Scientific contributions include:
- PhD with Distinction (2019)
- Editorial roles for Manchester University Press (2025) and Kontur Magazine
- Peer-review for Nordic Journal of Migration Research
She supervises PhD committees (Ali Ali, Larisa Shpakovskaya) and teaches postgraduate courses including:
- Europe, Migration and Global Coloniality (2020–2022)
- Subversive Soviologies (2018–2020)
- Sociology of Migration
- Key Concepts in Sociology
Her academic network spans Finland, UK (University of Sheffield), and international conferences, with media engagement in outlets like Al Jazeera, Le Monde, and Yle. She actively contributes to anti-racist discourse through Raster.fi and public talks.
