I am a medievalist and literary scholar by training. My work is about Vikings, medieval Iceland and the reception of these in the modern era. I studied at universities in Reykjavík, Iceland, and Brighton before completing my doctorate in medieval literature from the University of Oxford in 2010. I held research fellowships at the Árni Magnússon Institute for Icelandic Studies in Reykjavík and at Harvard University from 2010 to 2016, I was a lecturer at Yale University from 2017 to 2019 and I currently work at the National Library of Norway. I have published numerous articles, an edited volume and two books about medieval literature and manuscripts, and I have edited scholarly publications in the same fields. My most recent book is Valkyrie: The Women of the Viking World, published by Bloomsbury in 2020. I am currently working on a number of projects, including an edition of a medieval law code, and a new book about Vikings. I also work as a historical consultant for documentaries and feature films. My research interests focus on Vikings, Old Norse-Icelandic sagas, Norse mythology, and poetry, medieval manuscripts, medieval Iceland, women and gender, and identity issues more broadly. My website is vikingwomen.org, where I have more information about my work, a list of my podcast and other media appearances, and a blog. My twitter account is twitter.com/sagaknitter.
