It’s time to share this one. I was awarded a National Endowment for the Humanities stipend for the summer institute “Teaching Beowulf in the Context of Old Norse-Icelandic Literature” that begins in one month. Great to be back at the WMU Medieval Institute Alumni and Friends again.

This four-week institute, under the Medieval Institute director Jana Schulman, together with guest lecturers in the fields of medieval archaeology, folklore and oral tradition, “Beowulf,” Old Norse-Icelandic literature, and Scandinavian and Anglo-Saxon religions, will engage 25 summer scholars with more detailed background information about the culture, religions and history of Anglo-Saxon England and medieval Iceland. These noted scholars (including J. D. Fulk) will provide us with a greater and synergetic awareness of and appreciation for the literature of Anglo-Saxon England and medieval Iceland.
