Dear colleagues,

 

We hope you are all well!

 

This is just a quick note to let you know that the abstract deadline for the 2026 Aarhus Old Norse Mythology Conference, to be held at the University of Edinburgh this December, has been extended.

 

If you would like to be considered for the programme, please send your abstract (300 words or fewer) by 15 June at the latest to Triin Laidoner at: tradc...@gmail.com

 

Please feel free to circulate this call for papers within your departments, universities, and professional networks, and to share it with any colleagues who may be interested.

 

I have attached the conference leaflet, which contains details of the event.

 

Should you have any questions about the conference, please contact us at the address above.

 

We look forward to welcoming you to Edinburgh in December.

 

With best wishes,
