Personal profile
Short presentation
My research deals with language in society and focuses primarily on issues of gender and sexuality. I combine approaches and theories from sociolinguistics and gender studies. My research areas include:
- Language, gender and sexuality
- Language, racialization and the nation
- Language and coloniality in Greenland
- Language and social media
- Language variation and change
In my research I have among other things dealt with sexist language use among young women, online dating, Snapchat, teaching in gender and sexuality in asylum and migration contexts as well as language variation in Northern Jutland.
