Th.) degree, she specializes in liturgical studies and homiletics within the Lutheran tradition. Her academic work focuses on the intersection of theology, worship practices, and contemporary church life in Finland.
Dr. Hulmi's research interests center on liturgical renewal, sacramental theology, and the practical application of theological concepts in worship settings. Her work explores how Lutheran liturgy can maintain theological depth while adapting to contemporary contexts, with particular attention to embodiment in worship, ritual studies, and the theological interpretation of liturgical practices. She has made significant contributions to understanding how Scripture functions ritually within liturgical contexts and how preaching can be understood as a communal act.
Her publications reveal a consistent focus on practical applications of theology in worship settings, with particular emphasis on Lutheran liturgical traditions in the Nordic context. Her work demonstrates how liturgical practices connect with broader theological concepts while addressing contemporary challenges in church life. Recent publications show increasing engagement with questions of embodiment, ritual renewal, and the theological significance of contemporary worship practices.
Dr. Hulmi is actively engaged in academic and church communities, serving on the Worship Life Committee of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland (2024-2028) and as a member of the Espoo Diocesan Council (2024-2027).

As an educator, Dr. Hulmi supervises doctoral and master's theses while contributing to theological education through her research and teaching. Her work bridges academic theology and practical church ministry, making significant contributions to both scholarly discourse and the lived experience of worship in the Lutheran tradition.
