Folkloristics focuses on people and daily life. I research society through 19th-century tales. The field’s growing popularity in Iceland is matched by international recognition of Icelandic folklorists.

Why do we dress the way we do? Why do we decorate our homes the way we do? Why do we speak the way we do? Why do we associate with the people we do? This programme has completely changed my perspective on everything around me.
