This past September, Timothy Bourns, the project’s former postdoctoral researcher, started a Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at University College London. While his new research is focused on medieval Greenland, he has also given three papers related to the emotion and selfhood project in recent months. He gave the Michaelmas Old Norse in Oxford Research Seminar with a paper titled ‘Animal Emotionality in Norse Myth, Saga, and Romance’; he then presented ‘Human-Tree Hybridity and Arborescent Emotionality in Norse Myth and Legend’ at the Aarhus Old Norse Mythology Conference, ‘Hybrids and Metamorphoses’, at Charles University in Prague; and he presented ‘Translating the Unknown: Emotive Hapax Legomena in Old Norse Verse’ at the ‘Translating the Middle Ages’ workshop held at Linacre College, University of Oxford.
