A recente eleição americana trouxe à tona algumas discussões dentro da comunidade judaica dos Estados Unidos. Embora a maioria dos judeus americanos ainda tenha escolhido a Vice-Presidente Kamala Harris, o pleito de 2024 registrou um aumento de votos para Trump,o que mostra uma mudança significativa que levanta muitas questões. Esse apoio a Trump, que vem crescendo desde 2016, sugere uma mudança duradoura ou um alinhamento momentâneo? A comunidade judaica americana tem uma longa tradição de apoio ao Partido Democrata. Mas, com as questões atuais, será que estamos vendo uma reavaliação das prioridades da comunidade ou apenas uma resposta ao contexto específico? Para nos ajudar nessa conversa, nós convidamos Vânia Penha Lopes, que é Professora Titular de Sociologia no Bloomfield College of Montclair State University, em Nova Jérsei, EUA, co-diretora do Seminário do Brasil na Universidade Columbia, em Nova Iorque, membro do Laboratório de Estudos Negros LEN da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, pesquisadora do Washington-Brazil Office-WBO (2022-24) e ex-membro do comitê executivo da Brazilian Studies Association-BRASA (2010-14). É doutora em Sociologia pela Universidade de Nova Iorque (New York University, 1999), com pós-doutorado em Ciências Sociais do Programa de Pós-graduação em Ciências Sociais da Universidade do Estado do Rio de Janeiro (2007). Vânia também é autora de de The Presidential Elections of Trump and Bolsonaro, Whiteness, and the Nation (2022), entre outros livros.

The Key shares Inside Higher Ed's latest collaboration with Times Higher Education – Campus Podcast. This interview features Montclair State University President Jonathan Koppell as he discusses how universities can be more proactive in rebuilding public trust in higher education. It's tied to accessibility and degree completion, he argues, and universities need to acknowledge their failures in meeting those objectives. Meanwhile, service learning and supporting minoritized groups are central to Dr. Koppell's institutional strategy. And with many institutions in the US facing financial difficulties, he discusses his decision to merge Bloomfield College into the Montclair system.
Watch the video recording of this podcast on Campus Findings from a recent Gallup survey of Americans found that only 36 per cent have a "great deal" or "quite a lot of" confidence in higher education. That's about 20 percentage points lower than the same survey in 2015. For Jonathan Koppell, president at Montclair State University, it's time for universities to own their part in that loss of trust in American higher education. The big question universities need to ask themselves is: What are we doing to change the modus operandi to make it easier for people to get the dream universities are selling them, i.e.: get a degree, have a better life? In this interview Dr Koppell discusses accessibility to higher education for minoritised groups as well as the merger with Bloomfield College and how the affirmative action ruling will change the higher education landscape. Montclair State is the newest member of the Campus+ network. Find out more about Campus+.

Harry is Associate Professor of History and Coordinator of History and Global Languages at Bloomfield College in Bloomfield, New Jersey. Before landing at Bloomfield, Harry held visiting and adjunct positions at Marist College, Skidmore College, Lehman College (City University of New York), and he was a Research Associate at CENTRO - The Center for Puerto Rican Studies, Hunter College, City University of New York. Harry earned his BA in History at the Mayagüez Campus of the University of Puerto Rico, completed an MA in US Military/Diplomatic History at Temple University, then earned his PhD in History at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Harry is the author of Soldiers of the Nation: Military Service and Modern Puerto Rico, 1868-1952 (University of Nebraska Press), and he has authored numerous essays and articles, including “A New Day Has Dawned for Porto Rico's Jíbaro': Manhood, Race, Military Service and Self-Government during WWI” in Latino Studies (2015). Harry is currently working on two book projects, Fighting on Two Fronts: The Experience of the Puerto Rican Soldiers in the Korean War and Patriotism and Resistance: The Puerto Rican Experience during the Vietnam War.

Harry is a Board member and Executive Director of the New York Chapter of the National Puerto Rican Agenda and has served on the Council of the Latin American Studies Association. Harry has an amazing story - growing up in Puerto Rico, dropping out of school, serving in the military, returning to school, then chasing a girl to Philadelphia, which serendipitously put him in friend-of-the-pod Jay Lockenour's graduate seminar at Temple University. The rest, as they say, is "history." We thoroughly enjoyed our chat with Harry Franqui-Rivera - your day will be better for listening to his story. Rec.: 11/18/2022

The Presidential Elections of Trump and Bolsonaro, Whiteness, and the Nation (Lexington Books, 2021) is a sociological analysis of the similarities between the elections of Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, based on biographies, academic sources, newspaper, television, and internet reports published in the United States and Brazil between 2014 and 2021. The author argues that the success of each candidate reflects the racially hierarchical structure of their societies and the strength of the ideology of White supremacy to maintain that structure despite efforts to dismantle it. Regardless of class and gender, Whites responded to Trump's nativist call to exclude undesirable immigrants, especially Mexicans and Muslims, both of whom are racialized as non-White.In Brazil, the country with the largest population of African descent outside of Africa and the largest miscegenation rates in the world, the votes for Bolsonaro pointed to the social wish to achieve Whiteness and thus eliminate (or at least abate) the insecurity that comes from a belief in the racial inferiority of non-Whites. The author suggests that the results of the presidential elections reflect Whites' fear of losing ground after decades of gains by minorities, women, and the poor in both countries. Dr. Penha-Lopes will have a book launch with the Columbia Global Center in Rio de Janeiro on Feb.11, 2022. Check the Center's Youtube page to view the event.

“Time is growing short.” That's how Bloomfield College's president, Marcheta P. Evans, described the struggling private college's situation this week in an atypical plea for help. Bloomfield, whose students are overwhelmingly black, Hispanic and from low-income backgrounds, acknowledged that it won't make it through the 2022-23 academic year in its current condition, and asked for help from potential philanthropists and partner institutions to keep its mission alive. In this week's episode, Marcheta Evans discusses the New Jersey college's unexpected approach to an increasingly common plight. She explains why it chose to go public about a situation many institutions hide, and it's options for surviving and even thriving. This week's other guest is Barbara Brittingham, president emerita of the New England Commission of Higher Education, who as leader of the accrediting body in the demographically challenged Northeast encountered more than her fair share of financially ailing institutions. This episode is hosted by Inside Higher Ed Co-founder and Editor Doug Lederman. Sponsor is Formstack
September 11, 2001: If you are above thirty years of age, the terrible events of that day are most likely etched in your memory and will be for years to come. Many people today are able to remember exactly where they were, what they were doing and how they found out that the United States of America had been attacked by terrorists. In this 20th anniversary tribute to the victims and survivors of the 9/11 attacks, we will be speaking with three individuals, Neil, Amy and Marty who will share how their lives were directly impacted by the events of that day.

October is Hispanic Heritage Month. Usually this is a month filled with celebrations that honor history, family and traditions. But this year is different. COVID-19 has had a devastating impact on the Latinx community. A group of poetic artists wanted to carve out an event to still celebrate Latin culture though a local New York club called Nuyorican Poets Cafe . Nearly a dozen poets and writers from around the country gathered on Zoom this month to spit rhymes and swap stories. It’s called the Nuyorican Showcase and Bloomfield College Open mic. A celebration of Latin Heritage and creativity organized by poet and Bloomfield College professor Paul LaTorre. " To me it’s a kind of celebration of appreciating that culture. Of appreciating togetherness of appreciating what everybody has to bring to the table because that’s the only way we are going to move forward is through unity you know. La pregunta se la revez.

Coach just finished refereeing 4 games before coming to the studio to see us!He plays at La Salle Academy High School alongside Shammgod Wells and Ron Artest, to later serve as the head junior varsity and assistant varsity coach at La Salle. He begins his collegiate basketball career at Dominican College, where he later serves as an assistant coach, recruiter, and academic liaison which led them to back-to-back CACC championships.

"I'm sitting outside of Haagen Dazs and I just broke down!" Although these events may not be in order, the message behind the journey is what's essential. Their is good karma, and there's bad karma. It's up to you to decide what side you want to be on. This past August made 10 years since the fire happened, and since that day he started seeing life through a different lens and understands that you don't necessarily need everything you see in your closet. "...if I haven't wore it in 3 or 4 months, I'm giving it to Riverside Church!"

This episode features Michelle Chase, who joins us to discuss her fascinating new book, Revolution Within the Revolution: Women and Gender Politics in Cuba, 1952-1962 (University of North Carolina Press, 2015). The book is a rich and nuanced history of women's participation in the movements of resistance that began in the immediate aftermath of Fulgencio Batista's coup d'etat in 1952—resistance that culminated in the overthrow of Batista in the Cuban revolution of 1959. Eschewing both official top-down narratives of women's liberation as well as anti-communist accounts of women's cooptation, Revolution Within the Revolution demonstrates that women's activism and leadership was critical at every stage of the revolutionary process. It also centers urban activism in the years leading up to the Cuban Revolution, and reveals how focusing on the city changes our understanding of how the Revolution evolved and triumphed. What's more, the book is also a history of how notions of gender roles in Cuba at midcentury—questions of marriage and family, of masculinity and femininity—were both defined by and came to define the revolutionary moment, dialectically shaping the strategy of both revolutionaries and counter-revolutionaries, men and women alike.

This episode features Michelle Chase, who joins us to discuss her fascinating new book, Revolution Within the Revolution: Women and Gender Politics in Cuba, 1952-1962 (University of North Carolina Press, 2015). The book is a rich and nuanced history of women’s participation in the movements of resistance that began in the immediate aftermath of Fulgencio Batista’s coup d’etat in 1952—resistance that culminated in the overthrow of Batista in the Cuban revolution of 1959. Eschewing both official top-down narratives of women’s liberation as well as anti-communist accounts of women’s cooptation, Revolution Within the Revolution demonstrates that women’s activism and leadership was critical at every stage of the revolutionary process. It also centers urban activism in the years leading up to the Cuban Revolution, and reveals how focusing on the city changes our understanding of how the Revolution evolved and triumphed.
