Welcome to the OtterPod, a social science and public humanities podcast by CSUMB undergraduates that focuses on issues of social, racial, and environmental justice. The OtterPod was created by Dr. Sara Salazar Hughes and Liz Zepeda, and its creation was generously supported by a grant from the Pacific Library Partnership. Dr. Chrissy Lau also contributed tremendously to the development of the OtterPod. The editorial board includes Associate Professor of Global Studies Sara Salazar Hughes and Assistant Professor of Ethnic and Gender Studies Sriya Shrestha. Please see our Audacity self-enroll course, podcasting guides, and submission guidelines, and email Dr. Sara Salazar Hughes at sahughes@csumb.edu if you have any questions about the podcast, or to submit episodes for consideration.
