Welcome! My name is Jay and my academic research focuses on Iceland and, broadly, on the intersections of settler colonialism, immigration policy, mobility, and citizenship.

I hold a PhD in History, a Master’s in Inter-American Studies, a Graduate Diploma in Translation Studies, and a Bachelor’s in Icelandic from the University of Iceland.

I offer custom research, media and policy analysis, writing, editing, and translation services from Icelandic and Norwegian to English.
