SUMMARY:Norse in the North Conference: Communities and Individuals
DESCRIPTION:Norse in the North is an exciting new postgraduate-driven proj
 ect designed to serve as a platform for demonstrating the strength and ori
 ginality of Old Norse research in the north of England.It is being held in
  partnership with the universities of York and Leeds; our three universiti
 es all have a world class reputation for their tuition and research in thi
 s area. Durham will thus be the inaugural host of the only annual and dedi
 cated Old Norse postgraduate conference in the UK, which will cycle betwee
 n the three universities. The project is being run by current PhD students
  David Varley and Nicola Lugosch, along with current post-doc tutor John S
 hafer and former Durham student Betsie Cleworth. The inaugural conference 
 will take place on Saturday 28th April 2012, with the theme of 'Communitie
 s and Individuals'. A provisional programme has been drawn up, and it prom
 ises to be an entertaining, dynamic and highly productive day; Dr Martin A
 rnold of the University of Hull will be appearing as the keynote speaker. 
 The conference is being run under the aegis of the Institute of Medieval a
 nd Renaissance Studies, allowing it to be truly interdisciplinary. The sta
 ff of St Aidan's College have been extremely generous in offering to host 
 the conference, and the project has received a significant degree of fundi
 ng from the Institute of Advanced Study. The Norse in the North project ha
 s also obtained a grant from the Viking Society for Northern Research, the
  premier academic organisation in the field of Old Norse studies. For more
