Research interests

In my research I explore language situations in Northern Norway from the perspective of sociolinguistics. My current research topics are language policy for historical minorities in the Arctic (Sámi and Kven/Norwegian Finn). Important key words are (de)coloniality, language policy, research ethics, reconciliation, language reclamation, multilingualism, language ideologies, place and citizenship. 

I am pricipal investigator of the project Multilingualism in Transitions (MultiTrans), funded by the Research Council of Norway (2021-2026), and the project Living Arctic Colonialities.
