I have a Master's from Bangladesh, another from Texas and a Ph.D from Texas as well. But since I returned to Bangladesh in 1999 I am finding it more formidable to regain a foothold in the Western academia in the form of a post doc or a visiting professorship. It does make sense in some respects, I won't be an easily available candidate for interviews, for example. On top of that, getting an entry visa is another matter. This year I was denied a Canadian visa to attend the CACLALS conference in Manitoba where I was to deliver a paper. Are there better processes involved ?
