About me

I am a Senior lecturer in Translation studies with a specialization in translation, at TÖI, Department of Swedish language and multilingualism. I hold a PhD in Nordic languages from University of Gothenburg.

My research interests take Descriptive Translation Studies as their departure and I am particularly interested in indirect translation, i.e. when a translation is done based on an existing translation in another language. More generally I focus on the interplay between texts and context.

I am a member of the following networs: Swedish Network for Translation Studies (SNÖ), IntirecTrans, Multilingualism in Translation (MiT) and European Society for Translation Studies (EST).
