معرفی
Astrid Skoglund is a faculty member at the Department of Swedish, Linnaeus University, with research focused on sociolinguistics, gender studies, and multilingual health communication. She actively participates in the research environment A Questioned Democracy and leads courses in language counseling and text maintenance. Her work emphasizes norm-critical design and digital tools in institutional contexts.
Her research explores intersections of gender, language, and healthcare, particularly in maternal care and legal settings. She investigates how digital platforms like social media reshape institutional communication (e.g., police interactions) and how multilingualism impacts healthcare equity. Her publications address topics such as Arabic-Swedish language support for midwives, representation of pregnant bodies in healthcare discourse, and gender bias in judicial texts.
Recent projects include the Vinnova-funded Expecting a child in Arabic and Swedish, which integrates norm-critical approaches into interactive maternal care design. Key collaborations involve the Centre of Language for Specific Purposes (CLSP) and interdisciplinary teams addressing health equity and digital humanities.
