About

My MA thesis dealt with the question of violence and gender in the Old Norse culture and literature. My current PhD research studies the role and power of women in the landnámsöld focusing on Auður djúpúðga. I will compare her role and position in society to that of her contemporaries, and will look into the question of whether she left a legacy for women in the subsequent generations.
