Medieval Icelandic Studies and Viking and Medieval Norse Studies
On August 25, 2017, we welcomed 35 new graduate students in Viking and Medieval Norse Studies and Medieval Icelandic Studies at the University of Iceland. We are fortunate to get good students from all over the world, and this new group of 35 comes from Andorra, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, UK, and US. This promises to be a good year!
edX-námskeið
A delegation from the University of Iceland participated in a training seminar at edX headquarters in Cambridge, Mass., on July 25–26, 2017: Gústav Kristján Gústavsson, Haraldur Bernharðsson, Tryggvi Thayer, Hjalti Snær Ægisson, and Rúnar Sigurðsson. Now we move on to produce the first University of Iceland edX course which will be on the Medieval Icelandic Sagas.

Doctoral defense
On January 6, 2017, I was an opponent at the University of Copenhagen when Beeke Stegmann—a former student of mine from the Medieval Icelandic Studies program at the University of Iceland—defended her doctoral thesis titled "Árni Magnússon’s rearrangement of paper manuscripts". Very enjoyable; excellent thesis! From left: Anne Mette Hansen thesis supervisor, HB, Beeke Steegmann, Lena Rohrbach opponent and Annette Lassen opponent.
