I am a Professor of Danish at the University of Iceland and the Director of the Vigd\u00eds Finnbogad\u00f3ttir Institute of Foreign Languages.<\/p>\n
After obtaining a B.A.-degree in Danish and Philosophy at the University of Iceland, I won a grant from the Danish authorities to pursue graduate studies in Danish. I obtained a master\u00b4s degree from the University of Copenhagen in 1987 and a Ph.D. from the same institution in 1998.<\/p>\n
My works have mainly revolved around Danish language and culture. I have taught Danish on all educational levels, written educational material for secondary school, worked as a translator between Icelandic and Danish, and been a tourist guide in Iceland for Danish and other Nordic travellers.<\/p>\n
My research domain is the Danish language, in particular Danish as a foreign language, comparative linguistics, and the history of Danish culture and language in Iceland.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
