Doktorand i språkvetenskap med inriktning mot språkpolicy och språkplanering avseende samiska.
I am a doctoral student in language policy with a focus on the Sámie languages. I have been involved in the Fatta Sápmi and Samiska A-courses and the Faculty of Arts and Humanities Committee for Equal Rights. Currently, I represent doctoral students in the advisory body of Várdduo - Centre for Sámi Research, and are a member of the steering group of the UTRI Young Researcher Network.
In my PhD project, I focus on the processes that are involved in the shaping of Sámie language policy in municipalities on the Swedish side of Sábmie. These processes are seen and interpreted through experiences of Sámie participation in municipal governance, which is a practice that is in the context of this study called samråda.
I have a background as journalist and graduated with a Bachelor of Journalism from Windesheim University of Applied Sciences in 2012, with a One-year-program in Circumpolar Studies from UiT The Arctic University of Norway in 2015, and with a Master of Sámi Journalism with an Indigenous Perspective from Sámi University of Applied Sciences in 2017. My Master's thesis addressed the influence of media on language vitality and the need of minority language media for public support and public policy to have this influence.
