Dr. Riika Hohti
Dr. Riika Hot has examined topics such as child-animal relations, museum pedagogies, feminist care ethics, and materiality and temporality in classrooms. Her work has always included an interest in methodologies, such as developing post-qualitative, narrative and multispecies approaches. She is the founder of the Education Beyond the Human / Helsinki network.
Currently, Riikka divides her research time between leading the Atmospheres project (Antroposeenin lapset, Kone Foundation 2022-2025) in the University of Helsinki, and working as a postdoctoral researcher in the AniMate research group, University of Oulu. From September 2023 on, she will be working as Finnish Academy Research Fellow in Tampere University focusing on more-than-human figurations and politics of childhood.
