About me
My research is about adults' communication in contemporary society, focusing on the role of texts, digital media and writing. At present, I am working on several projects on crisis communication as a profession. My general research interest concerns how people act in relation to texts och tools, and build knowledge together. My research fields are applied linguistics, literacy studies, social semiotics and mediated discourse analysis (nexus analysis).
Together with Stefan Norrthon, I coordinate the research group "Interaction and multilingualism".
Teaching
Coordinator of master theses.
This semester, I also teach sociolinguistics at graduate level.
