Starting this week there will be a new section on our website, which is called ‘interviews’. Every two to three weeks, we will post a short interview in Finnish (they perhaps will be also translated into English later) with one of our researchers within the CSTT. As our centre’s principal objectives are broad and interdisciplinary in character, the individual projects of our research members cover a great variety of themes, methods and sources. Through this section we would like to provide you with a look ‘behind the scenes’ of the CSTT and to meet one of the c. 45 people currently in our centre who on a daily basis contribute to CSTT’s larger research objectives.
The first interview, which will be published tomorrow, is with Elisa Uusimäki, one of the postdoctoral researchers in our centre.
