Noora Karjalainen
Noora Karjalainen is a salaried Ph.D. candidate at the University of Jyväskylä, Finland. Her research focuses on the media representations of contemporary female folk singers, examining the narratives of origin, authenticity, performance and otherness emerging from the research material of album and concert reviews, articles and interviews written about the artists. These narratives have directed her research into memory and nostalgia studies, authenticity studies, gender studies and postcolonial studies. She has presented papers several times at both Finnish and international conferences, including the Finnish Music Researcher’s Symposium, International VAKKI Symposium, EUPOP Conference and ICTM World Conference.
