Island Lecture Series – Learning from Financial Crisis: Towards Sustainable Island Futures for Iceland and Newfoundland and Labrador
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 Island Lecture Series features a presentation by Prof. Mark Stoddart and Dr. Ãsthildur 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?
