Helene Killmer-Rumpf
Bakgrunn
Jeg er oppvokst i Tyskland. Etter at jeg studerte Speech Therapy, Linguistics og Speech and Language Pathology i Nederland og Sørafrika, jobbet jeg som logoped, foreleser og forskningsassistent i Nederland, Sveits og Tyskland. Jeg får energi av Pilates og svømming. For å slappe av leser jeg moderne og klassisk litteratur, og jeg benytter Feldenkraismetoden. Kulturelle aktiviteter som teater- og museumsbesøk er også viktige kilder til inspirasjon.
For meg som logoped er et av de viktigste målene for min forskning å kunne bedre kommunikasjonsevnen. Derfor forsker jeg på kommunikative evner og svekkelser hos personer med afasi. Afasi er en ervervet språkvanske, som regel en følge av slag. Afasi påvirker evnen til å produsere og forstå språk og evnen til å lese og skrive.
Doktorgradsprosjekt
With my PhD project, I aim to gain a better understanding of the interactive organization of
Conversations of persons with aphasia.
I explore this with empirical data collected from German face-to-face interactions of couples where one of the participants suffers from aphasia. The method used is Conversation Analysis. The data originates from the data base moca, corpus AphaDB provided by the University of Freiburg, Germany.
Prof. Dr. Jan Svennevig (University of Oslo) and Dr. Suzanne Beeke (University College London) supervise my project.
