Ep. 16: Exploitation of Student Labor and Organizing
Black Feminist Rants
11/19/20 • 49 min
In this episode LaKia discusses the exploitation that students face specifically from unpaid internships, universities that expect student leadership and activism labor, and her specific experience as a Resident Advisor (RA) for Tulane University. LaKia touches on how systems create competitive job markets that incentivize students and young people to seek internships, often times unpaid, so that they will be marketable in the job market. However, many low and middle class people can't afford to take an unpaid internship which widens the class divide that already exists.
LaKia mentions the Medium article Stop Working for Free which talks more indepthly about how unpaid internships recreate class divides.
