Haraldur Bernharðsson, 27. August 2018

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!

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".
