My academic interests include history of mentalities and ideas, image studies, Russian history and borderland issues. I am especially interested in representations and uses of the past, and politicization of history.

I am also a freelance writer and photographer. Besides topics related to history and culture, I like to write about – and photograph – nature, environment, countryside and all kind of living creatures.

This page is still (eternally, I’m afraid) under construction. Meanwhile, take a look at my CV and the list of my publications. Feel free to contact me via email: kati.parppei at uef.fi
