Interdisciplinary Workshop - the Orkney Project

This event is a part of the AHRC-Funded training course for doctoral students of Old Norse-Icelandic or Viking Studies on the theme of Extending Academic Research about the Viking Diaspora and its Heritage in the British Isles. This interdisciplinary workshop will present aspects of the literature, history and material culture of Viking and Norse Orkney, and will also introduce participants to curatorial, archaelogical and material issues within a museum context.

Doctoral students, primarily those IN THEIR FIRST AND SECOND YEARS OF DOCTORAL STUDY, from all institutions in the UK where Old Norse-Icelandic and Viking Studies is offered are invited to apply by 15 November 2012. Some priority will be given to AHRC-funded students.
