Learning from Financial Crisis:
Towards Sustainable Island Futures for Iceland and Newfoundland and Labrador
Tuesday, March 30, 2021 – 1:00-2:00pm ADT (UTC-3)

As cold-water islands, Newfoundland and Iceland are often compared. The March session of the Institute of Island Studies Island Lecture Series features a presentation by Prof. Mark Stoddart and Dr. Ásthildur Elva Bernharðsdóttir comparing the financial crises that both islands have experienced: Iceland in 2008–2009, and Newfoundland currently. What have these experiences had in common and what lessons can they teach us?

This virtual event is free and everyone is welcome to attend. The event will be hosted on Zoom, and advance registration is required – please visit islandstudies.com/islandlectureseries-march2021 for more details and to reserve your spot.
