APECS Social Sciences Coordinator

I obtained my undergraduate in General Cultural Anthropology at the University of Iceland (my country of origin), Reykjavik, focusing on anthropology of gender as well as northern studies with a field trip to Eastern Greenland. Following that, I have accomplished a Masters’ degree in Visual Anthropology at the Goldsmiths College in London, what lead me to my actual occupation of a Ph.D thesis in Visual Anthropology at the University of Paris 7, under the supervision of Professor Pascal Dibie.      

My main professional experiences in the field are my accomplishments at the Stefanson Arctic Institute (Akureyri, Iceland). My work at the institution was mainly animated by creating the “visual” and image fund of the Institute. I participate regularly in international conferences on either visual or arctic themes such as the annual Bilan du film ethnographique in Paris or the Northern Research Forum (Akureyri, Novgorot, and Anchorage), intervening either with speeches, films or as reporter.
