About

I'm Elina Vessonen - researcher, writer and circus teacher.

I did my PhD at the University of Cambridge, UK (2019) and an MA at the Erasmus University Rotterdam, NL (2015).

Here is a list of my articles and other writings.

I've trained circus since 1997. I've performed and taught around the world, developing a repertoire of circus skills which I sometimes share online. I also teach circus at Circus Helsinki ry.
