Personal profile
Research areas
I am currently a part of the research project "Fama in Medieval Denmark (c. 1240-1340): Rumors, Reputation and Public Opinion", in which I look at how fama is featured in the medieval Danish laws. My other research interests include gender, violence, and social transgressions in the sagas and in Medieval Denmark, Norway and Iceland.
