GRÓ GEST Welcomes the 2024 Cohort of Fellows!

The 2024 cohort of fellows have recently arrived to Iceland. They have finished the programme orientation where they were introduced to many practical issues regarding living in Iceland, including navigating the campus, student housing, and the city, as well as with getting along, and how to make the best of the experience. Last Thursday they started the first module, Theories and Concepts of Gender. We look forward to following their professional progress during the semester, as well as learning from the 23 fellows who make up the cohort this year.
