Nordic Folklore and Contemporary Literature in Translation, Iceland

Discover Iceland in summer 2019 with TU Professor Carol Quinn!  Immerse yourself in a culture that is both ancient and extraordinarily modern while studying traditional Nordic folklore in context and learning how narratives and traditions continue to influence literature created in the twenty-first century.

Based in the vibrant artistic city of Reykjavik, participants will also explore the historically significant Þingvellir National Park – site of the Viking Parliament, the remote and unspoiled Westfjords, and the natural wonders of  the western region.

Students will choose one of the following courses:

ENGL 244 World Folklore (3 credits)
