How can Mobility Studies help to shape our personal growth and academic orientation? In this episode, we speak with Kosar Rousta, a recent graduate and tutor in the Mobility Studies program at the University of Padua. With a background in English translation and experience across education, and academic archives, Kosar offers a deeply interdisciplinary and international perspective on what mobility truly means—both as a scholarly concept and as a lived experience.We trace her journey from translating texts across languages and cultures to researching overlooked figures in British Orientalism, particularly William Marsden, whose archival legacy spans continents and centuries. Kosar reflects on the complexities of adapting to a new academic system, the realities of student life in Padua, and her own transition from student to mentor.CreditsArtist: AnitekTrack: Glenn2025
