Where are you now? A conversation with DISE graduates living in Iceland

Description Have you ever wondered where a degree in International Studies in Education actually takes you? For the second episode of our Podcast Series, we move beyond the classroom to answer the big question: "Where are you now?" Join our hosts, Ernest Boakye Yiadom and Michaela Solarová, who talk with a panel of inspiring alumni: Kriselle Lou Suson Jónsdóttir, Zita Ngulube and Mladen Zivanovic. We dive into the real-world experiences of these three DISE graduates as they explain how the programme contributed to the building of their lives and careers in Iceland. This is not just a ‘success story,’ but a candid conversation about the transitions, triumphs, lessons, and challenges of navigating the professional landscape after graduation.

What is the story behind the department of international studies in education?

Description Have you ever wondered how a global community of educators and students found its home in Iceland? To kick off the DISE Podcast Series, we go back to the very beginning. In Episode 1, we ask the foundational question: "What is the story behind the Department of International Studies in Education?" The two hosts, Ernest Boakye Yiadom and Sue Gollifer, talk to the three founding members: Professor Hanna Ragnarsdóttir, Professor Allyson Macdonald, and Professor Ólafur Páll Jónsson, who reflect on their motivations for launching an internationally oriented university programme in 2008 at the University of Iceland’s School of Education.
