I am a scholar of medieval and modern Icelandic literature based in St. John’s Newfoundland and currently employed as a Grant Facilitation Officer in Memorial University’s School of Social Work. In the past, I have worked as an instructor at both the University of Manitoba and the University of Winnipeg and as a post-doctoral researcher and external thesis evaluator at the University of Iceland. My research interests include disability, emotions, gender and sexuality, and paranormal encounters in the medieval Icelandic sagas, literary medievalism in modern Icelandic literature and in Canadian culture and history, and North American-Icelandic history and culture. I have also worked as a literary translator of modern Icelandic and Icelandic-Canadian poetry, prose, and drama. On this site you will find information about my academic background, research and publications, teaching experience, and some research projects I have worked or currently am working on. I have also compiled here collections of resources that may be useful to scholars and others interested in Old-Norse Icelandic literature and medieval Nordic history, language, and culture more generally.
