Researcher in applied lingustics with focus on power relations and gender in conversations about humour and sports.
My research focuses on negotiations of power in conversation, often with a focus on humour. My material usually derives from public sourses like TV, and with a specific interest in sports.
I have also used text sources. For instance I have investigated how contemporary, humorous embroideries challenge the trope of the good girl.
I am convening for the research network FemHum, feminist humour researchers.
When I'm not working I go cross-country skiing, compete in veteran athletics, and enjoy sewing.
Key words: language, gender, humour, sports, feminist discourse analysis, feminism, conversation analysis, multimodality
I teach and give lectures in rhetoric, language and gender, conversation analysis, sociolinguistics, writing. I give lectures and whole courses.
