Mags’ research interests are vast and heavily interdisciplinary, encompassing work in the fields of art history, archaeology, anthropology, classics, gender studies, and material history, originating in a primary interest in Ancient Greek archaeology and architectural history. Their current topics of research include concepts of gender (and sexuality) in Norse culture, as well as the lives of disabled people in the Viking Age. Mags’ methods prioritise separating Viking Age Norse culture from the Christianised worldviews of previous scholarship to access Norse self-image on their own terms. The archaeology of domestic life in the Viking Age, and cultural variation across Scandinavia also contribute greatly to their interests and research strategies, as does existing sociological theory on gender, sexuality, and class structures in Norse society.
