A reminder of the upcoming deadlines for the TWO Norse Hagiography Network panels, one joint with the Celtic Hagiography Network, and the other with the Viking Society

Please note the different deadlines:
24th August (for the joint Viking Society panel) and 31st August (for the joint CHN panel)

On Friday, I submitted my doctoral thesis - 'Incite, Seduce, Martyr: Female Verbal Power in the Texts of AM 226 fol.'

It still hasn't sunk in. Thanks to everyone who has supported me throughout this process.

Anyone recognise this head? Esp. Oxford folks. It has suddenly appeared in the communal area of my building... if I can figure out where it's from I can try to return it?

I had a fantastic time in the Master Class at the Summer School in Icelandic and Scandinavian Manuscripts, researching the literary tradition(s) of St Mark. A great way to round off three years of the summer school! Thanks to the Viking Society for part funding my attendance

Took a quick break from thesis writing today to ascend the Merton Chapel Tower and take in the view from one of Oxford's dreaming spires

New to this platform but I thought I'd share here the panels I've organised (on behalf of the Norse Hagiography Network) for Leeds IMC this year - one panel looking at the image of the cross in the medieval north and another analysing moments of crisis in ON hagiography
