About
Ari Helo is the Lecturer of Cultural Studies in the Master's Degree Program of Intercultural Studies at the University of Vaasa, Finland. His research interests lay in American history, culture and politics and the European Enlightenment as well as in the ethical aspects of identity studies. After his graduate studies at the University of Helsinki, he earned his Ph.D. at the University of Tampere with a doctoral dissertation dealing with Thomas Jefferson's political thought and the problem of slavery.
Helo has both studied and worked (as a visiting scholar) at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville for three years (1996-7 and 2000-2). Before his current job in Vaasa he worked as a part-time lecturer of American political history and culture at the University of Helsinki and at numerous other academic institutions in Finland. Helo's articles, mainly in intellectual history and American studies, have been published in Britain, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Netherlands, and the United States—the latest being "Jefferson's Conception of Republican Government" in Cambridge Companion to Thomas Jefferson.
