Marie Møller Udvang serves as a Teaching Associate Professor in the Department of Cross-Cultural and Regional Studies at the University of Copenhagen, specializing in Greenlandic language instruction and Danish-Greenlandic translation. Her teaching encompasses Greenlandic as a foreign language (Danish-Greenlandic, West Greenlandic) and Greenlandic translation/interpreting.
