Person profile

My research interests circle around the following issues:

  • multinational corporation (MNC) as a gendered organization,
  • politics and power, nationalism, stereotyping in MNCs,
  • sensemaking and cultural resources,
  • employment relations (specifically in the Russian context), and
  • psychology of expatriation.

Person profile

My research interests circle around the following issues:

  • multinational corporation (MNC) as a gendered organization,
  • politics and power, nationalism, stereotyping in MNCs,
  • sensemaking and cultural resources,
  • employment relations (specifically in the Russian context), and
  • psychology of expatriation.

At the moment, I am on a 3-year grant from Academy of Finland (AKA). The project title is "If you want to go east, don't go west: Western expatriates' attitudes and behaviors in contemporary Russia".

In 2017-18, I am co-teaching Doing Business in Russia (26E02500) and Managing Mergers & Acquisitions (21E00029) courses.
