Biography

Lisa Ottosson is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Gothenburg, specializing in interpreting and asylum processes. Her research focuses on the experiences of interpreters during asylum interviews, literacy in interpreting, and the integration of asylum seekers. With numerous publications in notable journals, such as the Nordic Journal of Migration Research and Children's Geographies, she investigates themes related to social inclusion, the agency of accompanied asylum-seeking children, and the dynamics of misinterpretation within asylum contexts. Her contributions also explore the challenges that arise during the interpretation process and the implications of these challenges on policy and practice. Through her work, she amplifies the voices of vulnerable populations and contributes to the discourse on intercultural dialogue and social welfare within the framework of migration.
