Katrine Kehlet Bechsgaard is a Postdoc at the University of Copenhagen, focusing on sociolinguistics and socio-onomastics. Her current research investigates the connections between language and society, specifically how language use reflects societal perceptions of minority identities and conditions. She is examining how historical and contemporary labels assigned to these identities have evolved and the social implications behind naming practices. Previous projects include exploring familial naming conventions in Denmark, particularly the significant changes in surname practices over the past four decades that reflect broader social dynamics.
