Kristin Halvorsen
About
I research and teach in the field of Applied Linguistics with a focus on discourse analysis of professional practice. This means that I am interested in the role of language and communication in the workplace and within a variety of organizational settings. I teach and supervise master students in our study program MSKIP, Master in Language and Communication in the Professions, as well as PhD candidates working with social interaction in various institutional contexts.
I have an emphasis on the analysis of face-to-face interaction, but also study hybrid forms of interaction and 'written conversations' in digital contexts. I employ various discourse analytic tools to investigate the communicative challenges that participants face in the situations and organizations in question.
