Roles & Affiliations: Jouni Häkli is a Professor at Tampere University, leading the Space and Political Agency Research Group (SPARG) within the Faculty of Management and Business. He was previously Vice Director of the University of Tampere’s contribution to the RELATE Centre of Excellence (2014-2019).

Key themes include humanitarian border governance, urban planning, and the methodology of human geography. His work critiques structural policies affecting vulnerable populations and advocates for inclusive civic participation frameworks.
Articles Overview: Häkli’s recent work (2020–2025) addresses EU migration policy critiques, climate-induced mobility, and urban sustainability via citizen science (e.g., BiciZen project). His analyses reveal how policies devalue migrant personhood and how everyday encounters shape political agency.
