Annemari is an Associate Professor of English as a Foreign Language at Woosong University, South Korea. Her research, art and teaching interests concern the politics of the interpersonal. Taking a trans-disciplinary approach to the interpretation and mediation of communication, her work explores the meaning-making that occurs in, and stems from, ‘in-between’ spaces of verbal and non-verbal expression. Her ongoing preoccupation with dialogue informs an attempt to explore the political dimensions of the ‘in-between’ and its employment in political discourse.

Annemari’s research continues to engage with early medieval literatures that provide rich source material for the study of politically-rooted cultural discourse. Her most recent research projects (including her Doctoral thesis, undertaken at the University of Oxford) explore the politics of performance in Viking Age skaldic poetry (in particular the role of dialogue in the construction of skaldic diplomacy).

In addition to teaching, Annemari co-runs an interdisciplinary research network on Old Norse Poetry in Performance which seeks to facilitate conversations between academics and practitioners in literary, musical and dramaturgical fields on the subject of Old Norse-Icelandic poetic performance in both historical and contemporary contexts.
