My name is Helen Onnudottir, I’m a lecturer in Anthropology
at Western Sydney University. I was born in Icelander a fairly
homogeneous society so I knew there was a big world
outside of Iceland and a lot of
differences, cultural differences and
diversity amongst just humans and
society and culture. I did travel a lot in my
late teens and early twenties then one
day I was snooping through a museum in
Nazca in Peru and a man came up to
me and asked me if I was interested in
in what I was looking and I said, yes definitely
and then he asked if I was an Anthropologist and I remembered that
kind of resonated with me and I thought, why not!
So that's why I started my journey
into during my Undergraduate degree with
a major in Anthropology and then
moving over to Australia to study
here in Sydney to do my postgraduate
degrees and eventually finding my
way over to Western, where I have
been now teaching for quite some time into
Sociology, Social sciences and now
fortunately into Anthropology 
in 2016.
