Mikko Joronen (PhD in Human Geography) is a senior research fellow at Tampere Institute for Advanced Studies (IAS). His research is oriented around politics of vulnerability, tempos and temporalities of everyday violence, and geographical theory, especially at the intersection of ontology, politics and space. His publications deal with various related aspects, such as ungovernability, slow violence, waiting, and politics of speed; politics of future and the colonial (un)making of home; and the relationship of ontological vulnerability to various forms of power, governing and everyday resistance.
