From a new essay by Subina Shrestha with a PhD student's perspective on academic mobility: "Most of my colleagues have travelled around the world, not just Europe. Their passports are inherently more powerful than mine.... I have no similar experiences to draw on. Back home, flying is the exception whereas here it’s the norm....
