معرفی
Natalia Ganuza is a Professor of Swedish with a focus on sociolinguistics at Uppsala University's Department of Nordic Languages. Her work bridges multilingualism, sociolinguistics, and language education, particularly examining migration-related linguistic variation and its implications for education and identity.
- Academic Background: PhD and Docent in Bilingualism from Stockholm University.
Research Interests: Natalia's research explores multilingualism, sociolinguistics, and Swedish as a second language. She investigates how language policies and educational practices intersect, especially in heritage language education and urban vernaculars in literature.
Recent Research Trends: Her recent publications address heritage language education systems (e.g., Greek in Sweden), representation of urban vernaculars in Swedish fiction, and academic recruitment dynamics in transdisciplinary fields like Swedish as a Second Language. These works emphasize structural constraints, symbolic violence in research, and the sociolinguistic construction of belonging.
Supervision: Natalia has supervised doctoral candidates including Nina Begovic, Anna Ingves (defended 2024), and My Bodin, reflecting her commitment to mentoring emerging scholars in multilingualism and education.
