Prof. KFVComments on the podcasting project for California State and Local Politics Students have turned in their proposals for their podcasts and the topics cover a broad range of issues of importance to California politics and policy. There will be several podcasts covering immigration in California including the impact of DACA, more restrictive immigration policies at the federal level, and the impact of immigrants on the local economy. There will also be several podcasts on higher education, including access to higher education and increasing levels of student debt.
There are podcasts that will examine environmental issues, including wildfires, water use and management, and alternative forms of energy. Another set of podcasts look at economic issues in California, including raising the minimum wage, wage gaps between racial/ethnic groups, and availability and affordability of housing. Students are also interested in a variety of health and social issues, including homelessness, maternal health, access to mental health, access to disabled services, vaping regulations, and vaccinations. Lastly, there are podcasts grouped around broad criminal justice related themes. Podcasts cover prison reform in California, enforcement of existing gun laws, reform of gun laws, and prison infrastructure. Students will be practicing recording a small section of their podcast in class, by interviewing one another. Podcast #1 will be posted in approximately three weeks!
