It’s fascinating to see how Dr. Carolina Are’s personal experiences have shaped her academic career. By constantly being shadow-banned and moderated, she brings a more authentic and deeply informed perspective to her research in these fields. As she says herself, “I’m a better researcher because I’m a pole dancer”... I hope that her struggles not only advance her work but also pave the way for other academics in the future who may face discrimination too.
