Mikko Joronen
About me
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. He is currently working with questions of disruptive atmospheres, and material and affective politics of home at the occupied Palestinian territories. He is the leader of the Palestine Research Group, PI of the ERC-funded (ERC consolidator grant) project 'Dwelling with crisis: home at spaces of chronic Violence' (2023-2028), PI of the Academy of Finland -funded research project 'present-futures in/of Palestine' (2019-2023), and an associate editor of the journal Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers. He holds academic docentship (Associate Professor) in political geography at University of Turku.
