Ekspertområder
My research is concerned with multilingualism, i.e. how speakers with varied linguistic repertoires learn, use and experience language. Currently, I am developing a project with the working title Language across time and space: Following UN-refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Norway. The aim of the project is to follow some individuals from the moment when they know they are going to Norway, through their settlement and participation in the Introduction program and further on. In July 2019, I conducted field work in a refugee camp where I talked to some of the individuals that will be participating in the project. The next step will be to meet them in Norway when they arrive.
I am responsible for the research group Språk og samfunn (Language and society) at the Inland Norway University of Applied Sciences and a member of the Advisory Editorial Board of the Journal of French Language Studies.
