CULTURAL RESEARCHER Apart from research and teaching, another important facet in the work of a Sámi culture professor is the social mission, which also entails public appearances.

PUBLIC WORK An academic career involves many kinds of seminars and conferences, as well as public examinations. As opponent of Outi Oinas in the university of Lapland in 2007.
