Since his inauguration just over a week ago, President Donald Trump has signed 8 executive orders and taken over 21 actions linked to immigration, evoking the notion of an “invasion” to justify a harsh military approach and promising “mass deportations”. Three days ago, his administration's decision to use military airplanes to deport migrants – often handcuffed and treated like criminals – set off a diplomatic crisis with Colombia. Our president Gustavo Petro refused to accept two military flights with deported Colombians; Trump's response was a disproportionate and vindictive weaponization of tariffs, which he threatened to raise 50%, and a repeal of all government official visas. Even though Petro ultimately accepted the fights, the fallout continues. Colombia was made an example of, to send the message that anyone that responds to Trump with anything other than complete submission – both inside and outside the US - will be aggressively punished. And yet in perhaps the most racist and overtly imperialist expression of the Republican party, Trump won with a significant increase of the Latino vote. The inspiration for this episode of Sur-Urbano was the shift towards the right in predominantly latino cities in the US. Miami-Dade county, which is 70% latino, swung republican for the first time since 1988. In counties all over the US-Mexico border - which tend to be majority or have large latino populations - the Trump vote grew by 10 to 25%, even in cases where Trump lost. This even happened in blue states and cities; in California, the largely latino Central Valley supported trump, and even in Queens and the Bronx in New York, the Trump vote increased by around 20%.   It is more important than ever to understand the unique power of the multi-racial right. And for this, I joined forces with cohost and political theorist Will Callinson  to interview Prof. Daniel HoSang, professor of American studies at Yale University. Daniel is an interdisciplinary scholar of racial formation and racism in politics, and coeditor of a forthcoming book titled The Politics of the Multiracial Right. I learned so much from this conversation, and am convinced that any hope of resistance must stem from a reckoning within the left, which includes better understanding of what drives voters – particularly the working class and of color – to the right.  Will Callison (williamcallison.bsky.social) is a political theorist and a Lecturer in Social Studies at Harvard University.

Daniel Martinez and I have a lot in common. He is an attorney who comes from the left but now fully supports Trump. He joined me yesterday to tell me the story of how the Federalist Society came to dominate the Supreme Court since its founding in the early 1980s. I know that sounds like I think it's a bad thing the way I wrote it - but I don't and I assure you that both of us tried to approach the story from a neutral perspective. We are just jurisprudence nerds and wanted to talk about how the court has evolved, that's all. This conversation was a great follow-up to the one I had on Wednesday with my friend MJ who is also an attorney and a three-time Trump voter. I should warn you that I took twenty minutes at the beginning of this episode to talk a bit about myself for anyone who may be interested. Also, Dan and I talked about political identity, psychology, and current events for about forty minutes before we got into the topic at hand — so it's basically an hour before you start to hear the riveting (I think it's riveting) story about SCOTUS. I hope you like this episode of Searching for Political Identity! Thank you very much!

The questions of language, culture and merit have long intrigued researchers. HEC accounting professors Daniel Martinez and Keith Robson share the challenges these issues pose for diversity and equity. Professor Robson describes the cultural notions like language that favor the progression of elite groups in service firms in the UK. Whilst Associate Professor Martinez joins with fellow-researchers Javier Husillos and Carlos Larranaga to challenge the monolingual hegemony of English in academic publishing. This, he claims, affects non-native speaking academics' very identity and puts them in a position of subservience. Find the written highlights in Knowledge@HEC here. Hosted on Acast.

While scouring the Sonoran Desert for objects left behind by migrants crossing into the United States, anthropologist Jason De León happened upon something he didn't expect to get left behind: a human arm, stripped of flesh. This macabre discovery sent him reeling, needing to know what exactly happened to the body, and how many migrants die that way in the wilderness.  In researching border-crosser deaths in the Arizona desert, he noticed something surprising. Sometime in the late-1990s, the number of migrant deaths shot up dramatically and have stayed high since. Jason traced this increase to a Border Patrol policy still in effect, called “Prevention Through Deterrence.” First aired in 2018 and over three episodes, Radiolab investigates this policy, its surprising origins, and the people whose lives were changed forever because of it. Part 2: Hold the Line After the showdown in court with Bowie High School, Border Patrol brings in a fresh face to head its dysfunctional El Paso Sector: Silvestre Reyes. The first Mexican-American to ever hold the position, Reyes knows something needs to change and has an idea how to do it. One Saturday night at midnight, with the element of surprise on his side, Reyes unveils ... Operation Blockade. It wins widespread support for the Border Patrol in El Paso, but sparks major protests across the Rio Grande. Soon after, he gets a phone call that catapults his little experiment onto the national stage, where it works so well that it diverts migrant crossing patterns along the entire U.S.-Mexico Border. Years later, in the Arizona desert, anthropologist Jason de León realizes that in order to accurately gauge how many migrants die crossing the desert, he must first understand how human bodies decompose in such an extreme environment. He sets up a macabre experiment, and what he finds is more drastic than anything he could have expected. Special thanks to Sherrie Kossoudji at the University of Michigan, Lynn M.
