S4 Ep77: Why a Passport is a Privilege

A passport isn’t just a symbol of your national identity. For some around the world, it represents oppression, and for others, it’s a symbol of privilege.



We're joined by Kay Kingsman from The Awkward Traveller to unpack passport privilege. We discuss the history of passports, and why when you look below the surface, passports have a problematic role in controlling who has the ability and ease of moving around the world.
