Invisible Labor on Campus

In this episode of The Butterfly Effect Podcast, we explore what invisible labor looks like around campus, especially the roles undocumented students often take on to support the community. We discuss what it means to do this work, and how that work can be both empowering and exhausting. We also unpack the importance of recognizing this labor and sharing responsibility more equitably across institutions.  Tune in for an honest conversation about how invisible labor shapes student experiences, affects well-being, and influences belonging on campus.  Follow us on Instagram: @csundreamcenter  Helpful Links:   * CARECEN Free Immigration Legal Services [ ⁠https://carecenla.simplybook.me/v2/#book/location/6/count/1/⁠  ] * DREAM Center Appointment Services [⁠https://calendly.com/csundreamcenter⁠  ] * Register for DREAM Center Events [https://news.csun.edu/events/category/dream-center/month/ ] * Know Your Rights Cards (Multiple Languages) [https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas ]

episode The Syllabus Doesn’t Say This artwork

The Syllabus Doesn’t Say This

In this episode of The Butterfly Effect Podcast, we explore what the syllabus doesn’t cover, the unspoken rules of higher education that many students are expected to navigate without guidance. We discuss the idea that “you’re supposed to just know this,” how notions of “professionalism” can shape belonging and opportunity, and the pressures around silence and code-switching in academic spaces. Tap in for a real conversation about how these hidden expectations within higher education can influence access, confidence, and success.  Share below what unspoken rules in higher education you have learned along the way.  Follow us on Instagram: @csundreamcenter [https://www.instagram.com/csundreamcenter?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==]  Helpful Links:   * CARECEN Free Immigration Legal Services [https://carecenla.simplybook.me/v2/#book/location/6/count/1/ ] * DREAM Center Appointment Services [https://calendly.com/csundreamcenter ] * Register for DREAM Center Events [https://news.csun.edu/events/category/dream-center/month/ ] * Know Your Rights Cards (Multiple Languages) [https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas ]

S4E2: Using Pop Culture as a Protest

In this episode of The Butterfly Effect Podcast, we unpack how music, memes, and viral trends often serve as powerful reflections of social justice movements. We discuss calling out celebrities who cause harm, the impact of corporate pressure through collective power, and how digital culture can spark accountability and change. Tune in for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges us to see pop culture not just as entertainment or drama, but as a catalyst for awareness, action, and growth.  Follow us on Instagram: @csundreamcenter  Helpful Links:   * CARECEN Free Immigration Legal Services [https://carecenla.simplybook.me/v2/#book/location/6/count/1/⁠  ] * DREAM Center Appointment Services [⁠https://calendly.com/csundreamcenter⁠  ] * Register for DREAM Center Events [ ⁠https://news.csun.edu/events/category/dream-center/month/⁠ ] * Know Your Rights Cards (Multiple Languages) [https://news.csun.edu/events/category/dream-center/month/⁠  ⁠https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas⁠ ]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
