Gro Hege Saltnes Urdal
Field of work
I teach and conduct research on Norwegian sign language, interpreting and education of interpreters. I am interested in how intersubjectivity /a common understanding is created in an interpreted event, and the relation between the interpreter education, the interpreter profession and the society in general. In the period 2021-2025 I manage the research project DEPICT together with Benjamin Anible. In DEPICT we investigate how depiction is used in signed languages, and in interpreted events, to promote inclusion and communication.
