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.
