Sandra Wallenius-Korkalo (Doctor of Social Sciences, Political Science) has recently joined the AECED project within the Finnish team as a collaborative investigator. She is a university lecturer in Political Sciences at the University of Lapland. Her current projects relate to body politics, feminist and new materialist thought, and (post)qualitative methodologies. She has explored the gendered and cultural politics of religion, as well as the relationships between academic writing, dance, and the moving body.
Most recently, she has been enquiring into the politics of human milk. In the AECED project, she is keen on both researching and fostering transformative pedagogical practices in higher education. She engages with radical democratic thinking by approaching democracy-as becoming in terms of assemblages in movement. Besides being an academic, Sandra is also a mother and a dancer.
