My research interests are in drama and theatre studies. Currently, my research centres around theatre in translation and women’s playwrighting. My PhD thesis proposed and examined strategies for feminist theatre translation, which I explored by translating Minna Canth’s The Worker’s Wife (1885) from Finnish to English. I am currently working on preparing the findings of this research for publication. In addition, I am working on a new project researching and translating the plays of the early twentieth-century feminist-socialist Finnish playwright Elvira Willman.
