About me

I have a Master of Arts in linguistics. I am a lecturer in sign language and interpreting, and coordinating director of studies for the Bachelor's Program in Sign Language and Interpreting and a collaborator in the Swedish Sign Language Dictionary.

I am responsible for teaching Swedish Sign Language and interpreting within
the bachelor´s program (180 ects) and on individual courses in Swedish Sign Language (30 ects).

I have participated in a research project concerning the teaching of Swedish Sign Language as a second language (UTL2). I have also participated in other research projects concerning interaction in Swedish Sign Language and lexical variation in Swedish Sign Language.
More about the projects can be read under publications here on the department's website.
