I have been a member of SHARP since 2000 and have attended more than ten annual conferences. I was one of the main organizers for the SHARP conference “Book Culture from Below” in Helsinki 2010. I have served as Regional Liaison for Finland since 2012, and in the jury of De Long Book Prize 2013-2016. In 2013, I participated in the SHARP Futures meeting, and was invited as SHARP Ambassador in 2017. As a member of the Board of Directors I could contribute to the fields of research which have been in the main focus of my research: working-class book culture, vernacular literacy, the intersection of orality and literacy and transnational book cultures in migrant communities. I would also encourage the SHARP involvement in Finland and other Nordic countries.
