Explore the cultural history of Iceland through medieval saga literature, then delve into contemporary Swedish culture and society through readings from crime fiction and popular Nordic Noir. You’ll continually reflect on questions about power structures, access to justice, cultural identity, and intersections of gender, class, race, and religion.
