Dr. Gavin Lamb’s new position at MultiLing at the University of Oslo, Norway

One of our PhD alumni Dr. Gavin Lamb will be working as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Multilingualism in Society Across the Lifespan (MultiLing) at the University of Oslo, Norway.  (https://www.hf.uio.no/multiling/english). Gavin’s research is in the areas of nexus analysis, ecolinguistics, and intercultural communication in conservation and tourism settings. His current research projects aim to contribute to a ‘green applied linguistics’ that brings sociolinguistic research on language use, multilingualism and interculturality into dialogue with interdisciplinary research in environmental studies exploring the role of communication in creating both positive and problematic human-environment relationships.

As a Postdoctoral Fellow, Gavin will be collaborating on research projects applying multi-disciplinary language research methods to investigate environmental issues in Norway including climate activism, environmental education and ecocultural communication practices among urban youth in Oslo. His position at the University of Oslo runs from August 2021 through August 2023.
