What a special week to have Dr Kate Crowe and her colleague Marc Volhardt (https://english.hi.is/staff/mds) visiting Bathurst from Iceland. While they were here, Kate and Marc presented a lecture on the Bathurst campus: https://speakingmylanguages.blogspot.com/2022/07/there-and-back-again-linguists-tale.html
Kate has not been to Australia since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, so the last time I saw her was at the ASHA convention in Florida in 2019. We have a number of projects we are working on together, a student we are co-supervising, and two book chapters that are due soon. We had time for work and play - and lots of catching up.
I was very happy to receive gifts of children's books in a range of languages, including Icelandic and Polish, to add to my bookshelf of children's books from around the world.
It was great to spend time together. Thanks for visiting.
