Episode 39: Challenges of Global South Scholars
There are hidden (non-financial) costs in academia, and most of these are borne by scholars from the Global South. In this episode, I share some of the challenges I face that I know are not unique to me, hoping that as a community we can collectively demand solutions and address them in our own simple but powerful ways.
