Taru Haapala

Junior Visiting Fellow at the Queen Mary Centre for the History of Political Thought, University of London. She is a member of Academy of Finland’s Distinguished Professorship research project Transformations of Concepts and Institutions in the European Polity (TRACE) between 2015 and 2017, during which time she has also been invited as Visiting Fellow at the Department of History and Civilization of the European University Institute, Florence. Since 2013, she has conducted her postdoctoral studies at the Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy, University of Jyväskylä, which she started after being awarded with a research grant from the Kone Foundation.

Dr. Haapala specialises in political rhetoric and British parliamentary culture of debate. The revised version of her doctoral thesis entitled Political Rhetoric in the Oxford and Cambridge Unions, 1830-1870 will be published by Palgrave Macmillan in early 2017. She has also been one of the writers of a methodological book entitled Debates, Rhetoric and Political Action: Practices of Textual Interpretation and Analysis, also published by Palgrave in late 2016. Currently she is expanding her expertise with the study of the British ideas of federalism in the context of European integration.
