What is an accent? How does it relate to the identity of those who speak with an accent? How do we respond to accents that are unfamiliar to us?

In this seminar, we will discuss these questions and more that may affect communication in everyday life.

Stefanie Bade completed her BA in Nordic Studies at the Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany, and her MA in Translation Studies at the University of Iceland. She is an adjunct and post-doctoral researcher on Icelandic as a second language at the University of Iceland.

“I’m a foreigner in Iceland, and I find it interesting to find out how people react when they hear me speak with an accent and what their reasons are” – Stefanie says.

The seminar will occur from 12:45 to 13:30 and is in Icelandic with an accent.
