Biography
Eeva trained as an anthropologist at Cambridge University. For some years she pursued an academic career, exploring environmental and regional politics and the social dimensions of scientific and expert knowledge. She spent two years as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of California, Berkeley and then moved to London to take up a lectureship at Goldsmiths College.
In 2002 she left academia for a more varied existence, and now mostly writes about people and their environments for a variety of audiences in both English and Finnish. She has pursued her interest in the changing shape of higher education in both peer reviewed academic publications and online. In between writing and voluntary work she also gained an MSc in spatial planning at UCL. Having become a trustee of Women’s Design Service, a London-based organisation promoting women’s interests in the built environment, she wrote its history, published in 2007 as Doing things Differently: WDS at twenty.
