Crae Vincent Wilkins (US)
My undergraduate research centered on archaeology, particularly human skeletal health and health patterns in arctic and sub-arctic populations. While in Iceland, I would like to combine archaeological and manuscript knowledge to assess population-level health patterns in Medieval Icelanders. |

Daniel Craig Sloughter (US)
My formal academic background is in mathematics, with an emphasis in probability. For many years I have worked in philosophy of mathematics, with a particular interest in medieval conceptions of mathematical objects. I am interested in investigating early Icelandic scientific and mathematical work, as well as applying statistical tools to study authorship and related questions. |

Jen Nicole Semler (US)
While studying philosophy as an undergraduate, I became particularly interested in free will and moral responsibility. I am intrigued by the tension between fatalism and human agency in the sagas of Icelanders, and I am excited to learn more about the philosophical views in medieval Iceland. |

Joseph Lee Martin (UK)
Literature and history are my two major passions, especially where the two of them are inextricably entwined. I look forward to delving further into the sagas, potentially making comparisons between the Icelandic material and the Celtic literatures of Wales and Cornwall. |

Sophie Antonia Kass (Germany)
I studied modern and historical linguistics and literature alike in German, English and Icelandic during my studies in Vienna. I discovered my passion for the history of the Icelandic language and hope to solidify my knowledge about linguistic matters as well as the mythology described in the Eddic literature. |
