Assistant Professor

Elisabet Trengereid-Olsen

Field of work

I am teaching different topics related to Sign Language and Sign Language interpreting in our BA programme.

I am also finishing my PhD project "Deaf female in a new country". The project aims to gain insight into- and understand deaf, signing immigrant women's inclusion in Norwegian society, their experiences with mandatory municipal introduction programs in particular, with a special focus on the programs' language training.

I am also the leader of work package 3 in a Norwegian Research Council-funded project on depiction in Norwegian Sign Language; Depiction as an Engine for Promoting Inclusion, Communication and Translation (DEPICT). The project is runned by the research group Sign language, interpreting, linguistics and communication (SILC) at HVL, and WP 3 deals with deaf immigrant women's use of depiction when signing Norwegian sign language.
