Nina Haltia serves as a University Research Fellow within the Department of Education at the University of Turku, Finland. Her institutional affiliation centers on analyzing Finnish higher education systems with a focus on equity, accessibility, and social dynamics.
Her research interests prioritize educational equity through critical examination of open university tuition fees, transitions of non-traditional students into higher education, and labor market integration challenges for working-class graduates. She employs qualitative methodologies including small story analysis and narrative approaches to investigate graduate identity formation, institutional hierarchies, and social class impacts within Finnish academia.
Analysis of her 2023-2025 publications reveals consistent thematic focus on systemic barriers in Finnish higher education. Key trends include empirical studies on how tuition fees affect perceptions of equal access, longitudinal tracking of working-class graduates' employment uncertainties, and deconstruction of graduate identity negotiation in competitive job markets. Her work consistently links micro-level student experiences to macro-level educational policy implications.
