Issue 2 (Vol 53) is our Labour edition, and it’s full of work, weirdness, burnout, campus bathrooms, comfort food, student survival, and one very serious pigeon in hi-vis.
Inside, there’s a reflective editorial on what students are expected to give for very little in return, plus pieces on emotional labour, student work, international student burnout, unpaid clinical placements, PhD labour, and whether AI is really coming for your job or just being used to devalue your labour.
There’s also plenty of fun in the mix: horoscopes, Pets of Flinders, a very subjective guide to Flinders female bathrooms, a history of Pad Thai, campus sustainability updates, a film crossword competition, and a healthy, cheap Dumpling Lasagne recipe from Adeline Lau for the financially fragile, aka students.
