YSS FOR
VIKING STUDIES
Young Scholars Society
The Viking Age and Norse mythology are rich, complex fields, but opportunities to explore them seriously aren’t always easy to find, especially when as a high-school student. Founded by a 16-year-old with a passion for Old Norse literature, runic inscriptions, and Viking Age history, the society aims to build a community where young people can actively engage with Viking Studies, and connect with others who share the same curiosity. Whether you’re completely new to the field or already deep in the sagas, you’re welcome here.
