I just signed the contract for my first monograph, Weather Magic in Medieval Scandinavia, coming in 2026 with Routledge! I’m thrilled to see this project move from PhD to publication so soon, and deeply grateful for the generous peer reviews and support along the way.

Just published - a book chapter in @coffeoglobin.bsky.social @jenhemphill.bsky.social, and Solveig Marie Wang's wonderful new volume on premodern magic. My chapter focuses on how ‘magic’ offers alternatives to normative modes of gender and sexuality in Old Norse sagas ✨ tinyurl.com/PMPN-BAP

This month, I passed my PhD defense! I’m feeling incredibly grateful to my supervisors, Hannah and Ralph, and my family and friends, who’ve given me the much-needed support and encouragement throughout this journey.

It’s official, the first @pmpnconf.bsky.social book will be published this summer! Congratulations to all of the contributing authors - @coffeoglobin.bsky.social, Solveig and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of scholars to work with.

Sophie Durbin's video is active! She has kindly recorded what would have been a live online video, if not for the evils of technical difficulties. That being said, all recorded presentations can be found on our YouTube channel!
