Graduate Students 2017-2019

Orientation meeting August 25, 2017.

Adam Franklin Bierstedt (US)

  • Medieval Studies, BA, University of Chicago, 2017

As an undergraduate, I studied many aspects of Scandinavian history, from archaeological data to texts like Njáls saga, in isolation. Here, I hope to integrate that knowledge into a more coherent interdisciplinary foundation on which I can better study the importance of the sagas.
