The issue of mobility in academia
Barbara Weinstein, the new president of the AHA and an inspiring professor that I’ve heard speak in an informal setting in Toronto, talks about the issue of mobility in Academia on the latest issue of Perspectives. I confess that the need for travelling is one of the main attractions of the academic life for me. I love the idea of having to travel for conferences and to spend the occasional summer or academic year abroad. Yet, sometimes life gets in the way and Weinstein speaks about what happens when a scholar can’t move around so much. Very interesting article.
