I’m the parent of a one year old child. I’ve received several invitations to speak at workshops and conferences this year, and not one has been willing or able to accommodate me giving a remote talk.
Did we learn nothing from the pandemic? And if I with all my privilege (and being gallus enough to ask) can’t do it, what hope for precarious, early career, minoritised academics?
