Basil’s interdisciplinary, intersectional research examines how emotion, political expression, sexuality, and racialized or queer embodiment intersect in the ‘decentered global North Atlantic’, specifically in the context of late medieval Iceland. His research and teaching interests include Old English and Old Norse-Icelandic literature, viking studies, colonialism and anti-/de-/post-colonialism, critical race and Indigenous studies, and trans* and queer theory.

Basil is also an Associate Editor for the peer-reviewed journal Medieval Feminist Forum.
