• To gain a master's degree at the Institute of Development Studies
  
  My goal is to earn a degree in the master's program at the Institute for Development Studies at the University of Helsinki. The opportunity would provide me with a strong foundation in gaining theoretical as well as practical approaches to cooperative international development. With the institute's primary focus on the region of southern Africa, my interest in gaining expertise in the same area can ideally be met in such an environment.

• Finnish and American Connections in the Choreography of Tero Saarinen

This project examines Finnish choreographer Tero Saarinen's interpretation and re-exportation of American Shaker subject matter in his 2004 modern dance masterpiece "Borrowed Light." Through archival research, performance analysis, and new interviews, I will investigate the work's artistic composition and relate it to Finnish and American reception of the work. In doing so, I will highlight the territory it claims for international connection and exchange.
