About

I am a PhD candidate at the University of Oslo, currently working on my dissertation project “Towards Standards in Digital Editions of Old Norse Prose Texts: A Case Study”, which seeks to contribute to the current state of scholarly editions of Old Norse texts by evaluating methodological approaches and tools used in the creation of such editions. For this, I will use Þorsteins saga Víkingssonar as a test case.
I have previously worked on literary analysis with a focus on character construction and structuralist analysis, as well as monster theory. I now seek to broaden my scope of competency into digital textual criticism and palaeography.
