Episode #112: 'Room for One More?' w/ Thorunn Bjarnadottir
I was pleased to sit down with my longtime friend and colleague, Thorunn Bjarnadottir, to discuss her upbringing in Iceland and her insights on some of the cultural differences she has experienced during her many years living and working in the U.S. Formerly the Director of Intercultural Education in the International Student and Scholar Services office at the University of Minnesota, Thorunn is now the founder and CEO of Dancing With Differences.
