Field of work

I am a PhD student in the research program “Bildung and Pedagogical Practices". My project seeks to understand and gain insight into deaf, signing 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.
