Sakarias Sokka
I work as a senior researcher in the Center for Cultural Policy Research (CUPORE). I'm also the current vice-director of CUPORE.
My current research interests include art and culture funding, impact and evaluation of cultural policy, history and institutionalization of cultural policy, and theoretical approaches to cultural policy. Prior to taking up the post in Cupore I worked as a senior lecturer in the Master’s Degree Programme of Cultural Policy in the University of Jyväskylä. I have also worked for the Finnish Cultural Foundation as a Fund Officer. During the years 2017-2020 I was the editor-in chief of the Nordic Journal of Cultural Policy (Nordisk kulturpolitisk tidsskrift) where I continue as a member of editorial board. I have also been the chair of the Finnish Society for Cultural Policy Research.
