Person

I am Associate Professor in Swedish Linguistics. I teach courses in text- and discourse analysis, sociolinguistics and intercultural communication and supervise students at all levels.

I take a special interest in research about language use and health. 2015–2018 I worked part time with the research project Metaphors in Palliative Cancer Care (MEPAC). During 2021 I was part of an Advanced Study Group at the Pufendorf Institute: Reading and Health and 2022 I a a member of the group Enhancing Empathy and Compassion. Since 2022, I am a fellow at the Birgit Rausing Centre for Medical Humanities.

Another research interest is Sociolinguistics. Recently, I have studied word knowledge in the Swedish SAT-tests.

My main line of research right now is research in political discourse. I'm involved in a European project about the discourses of the supporters of right wing populist parties.

I am head teacher of the courses in Swedish Linguistics and Coordinator of the Language Consultancy program.
