Welcome to Alaric Hall’s website!

I am an educator and researcher; for most of my career, my teaching and research has focused on the languages and literatures of medieval North-West Europe, though I also work on Arabic, Icelandic, and Indigenous North American languages and literatures. This website has my most accurate and complete publication lists, and most up-to-date links to free-access online texts of my work.

In 2025, I moved to Canada for family reasons, and in 2025–27 I am studying for a Bachelor of Education degree at the University of Calgary.

For most of my career—from 2007 to 2026—I was a lecturer in the School of English and Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of Leeds, and I remain a visiting researcher at the University.

I also offer online private tuition in Old and Middle English, Old Norse, and beginners' modern Icelandic.

Otherwise, I like to play drums, learn languages, edit Wikipedia, stay in my tent, and participate in environmental activism.
