Over the past few days A/Prof Thora Masdottir, A/Prof Kate Crowe, Marie Ireland and I have travelled around Iceland learning about the country, customs, children, education, speech pathology and so much more. Many conversations compared similarities and differences between Iceland (and other Nordic countries), the United States and Australia. It has been a wonderful time of collegiality and planning future endeavours.
