About me
My research concerns literacy practices and communication in institutional settings. An earlier project dealt with elder care, where documentation plays an increasing role. Currently, me and by colleagues are wrapping up a project which investigates information and knowledge formation related to prenatal heart faliure diagnosis.

My main areas of interest are discourse analysis, social semiotics, multimodality and linguistic ethnography.
