Jag forskar i lingua franca-språk, språkideologier, kvalitet, multimodalitet, agens, empati och språkliga rättigheter i rätts- och kontakttolkning. Därutöver undersöker jag hatretorik och teorier om diskurs, ideologi och performativitet. Min tidigare forskning har handlat om sociolingvistisk variation i litterär översättning och språkpolitik för regionala språk och minoritetsspråk. Forskningen grundar sig i sociologisk översättningsteori, kritisk sociolingvistik och kritisk diskursanalys.
