Current research

My research combines a Forensic Linguistics approach with a Danish Functional Linguistics and Rhetorical Genre Studies framework.

I hold a PhD from University of Copenhagen, Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics. My dissertation examined threats - or threatening communications - as an illicit genre.  My PhD project was part of the research project ‘The Language and Genre of Threats’ that was funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.
