Read MoreHuldukonur is a project dedicated to collecting source literature, managed by Ásta Kristín Benediktsdóttir, Íris Ellenberger and Hafdís Erla Hafsteinsdóttir. The project consists of Icelandic sources which mention or suggest queerness regarding women and other people seen as women at the time, in the years 1700 - 1960. The project aims to make these sources accessible to researchers, students and the public and to encourage more research in the field of queer history. The Student Paper sat down with Ásta Kristín Benediktsdóttir to discuss Huldukonur and the status of queer history studies.
Read MoreKarítas Hrundar Pálsdóttir is the author of two books for Icelandic language learners: Árstíðir – Sögur á einföldu máli (2020) og Dagatal – Sögur á einföldu máli (2022) which will be out next week. Dagatal is an independent sequel of Árstíðir which has been well received and taught at various education levels in Iceland and abroad. The books consist of 91–101 short and accessible stories about customs and traditions in Iceland. The stories are written especially for readers with Icelandic as a second language (they are on difficulty level A2 to B2 according to the European Framework for Language). They therefore support both linguistic- and cultural literacy.
