In Spanish, CONTRALUZ means backlight.  This exciting album titled CONTRALUZ is an invitation to hold our own truths and beliefs up to a backlight that produces new perspectives from every vantage point.  In the same way that new perspectives warrant unfolding possibilities, Fabio Rojas and Kevin Harris believe that this powerful project could be described as a modern symphony also continually unfolding. Contraluz is an invitation to creatively shift one's views to see an alternative picture of reality or truth.    Therefore, when we change our perspective we see a wider spectrum of viewpoints that were not initially perceived at a single glance. And as a result, we gain a broader understanding of ourselves and society. Harris and Rojas seek to explore these possibilities as a duo to carry a message of purpose and hope.  This is Contraluz.

“We have lots of great social and political mechanisms for integrating people into the new society that they moved to.”— Fabio RojasIs immigration a basic human right? Or is it a privilege?This episode of Living Jewishly is an instalment of What Would You Do?, a podcast about ethics. In this episode, we explore the borderlines making up the ethics of immigration.Immigration to Western countries is one of the most hotly debated and controversial topics of our time, sparking published thinkpieces, political debates, and arguments among acquaintances. Some people view immigrants with fear, seeing them as violent or criminal (a fear stoked by certain politicians), while others see them as people looking to move up the economic ladder, provide for their families, and lead productive lives, or as refugees in need of compassion and a safe haven.Western governments must discern between these categories when developing their policies — and the line between “immigrant” and “refugee” can be life or death for millions of people.Leading American scholars Fabio Rojas and Professor Kit Wellman join Dr. Elliot Malamet for a thought-provoking discussion on the ethical nuances of open borders, sovereignty, cultural integrity, moral responsibility, freedom of association, family reunification, and global distributive justice.“The way I see it… you don't fully have self-determination unless you enjoy freedom of association.”— Professor Kit WellmanThis‌ ‌episode discusses:‌ ‌The concept of ‘open borders' and what that type of policy could look like in practice The idea of the right of the state to determine its own freedom of association How global distributive justice ties into arguments about immigration, and whether it can be achieved through other meansHighlights:‌ ‌00:51  Introduction02:31  About Fabio Rojas & Professor Kit Wellman03:10  What are open borders?04:34  Argument for open borders06:40  The sovereignty argument 08:22  The “apocalypse” scenario12:41  Culture & influence16:20  The “moral responsibility” argument: Rojas22:58  The “freedom of association” argument27:29  What if the majority are wrong?31:12  Family reunification32:25  Distributive justice39:55  The “moral responsibility” argument: Wellman 45:07  American examples47:51  The ‘hot potato' problem53:51  Rights v responsibilitiesLinks:‌ ‌To get in contact or learn more about Living Jewishly:Visit‌ ‌our ‌website: https://livingjewishly.org Follow us on Instagram: @living.jewishlyWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCO2YEegjapKpQeXG6zh6tzwor send us an email at hello@livingjewishly.org. Shalom!

For the past few months at Heterodox Academy, we've been focusing on the contributions of Black scholars, the diversity of perspectives among them, and the tensions around representation in institutions of higher learning. In this episode, we bring to you Randall Kennedy, Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, and his blog piece “On the Authority of Experience in Black thought.” To engage deeper with Kennedy's ideas, check out our related posts “To be Sensible About Race is ‘Not Blaming the Victim'” by John McWhorter, “Arguments for and Against Capitalism in the Black Intellectual Tradition” by Fabio Rojas, and “The Importance of Intrapersonal Empowerment in American Race Race Relations” by Erec Smith.

Since 1968, Black Studies departments have been established across the country, contributing to the intellectual life of the university and informing larger conversations about race beyond the academy. However, departmentalization eludes many universities, including Stanford. In this Clayman Conversations event, our panelists Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., Kimberly Thomas McNair, Aileen K. Robinson, and Fabio Rojas, will discuss how departmentalization is both a political and feminist issue, and how the university legitimates certain knowledge through departmentalization. Additionally, our panelists will consider the symbiotic relationship between social movement participants and institutions of higher education.

Navigating the music industry can be difficult and confusing. There is no clear path. It is up to every musician to make their own way. Creating a successful and fulfilling career in the music business takes discipline, persistence, and passion. Success is going to look different for every musician out there. The lessons that Fabio Rojas shares with us today are invaluable for any musician looking to make a career in music. He discusses the work that goes into preparing for high pressure gigs, getting sponsor deals, and navigating social media for the modern musician. Fabio's mindset and attitude are nothing short of inspiring.Enjoy! The Interview Starts Here : 13:30Find Fabio Here : https://www.fabiorojasmusic.com/https://www.facebook.com/fabiorojasmusic/https://www.instagram.com/fabiorojasmusic/ Find Dalton here:https://www.instagram.com/dmclaughlin93/http://www.daltonmclaughlin.com/ Find Issac Here:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSVIivmh4isdo7w7zOm7O-ghttps://www.instagram.com/theissachernandez/http://issachernandez.com/

Around the world, Black Lives Matter and their allies - are demanding justice -- and structural change -- in response to years upon years of racist violence, marginalization, and repression. In many instances, activists are being met with further state violence at the hands of police and resistance from elected representatives and officials.Despite state intransigence, one of the core demands gaining traction right now is the movement to ‘defund the police’. But what does that mean? And, moreover, could it happen? Are we on the brink of lasting, foundational change? Is this time different? On this episode of Open to Debate, David Moscrop talks with Fabio Rojas, professor of sociology at Indiana University Bloomington.

Por: Natalia Bedoya Beltrán y Alejandra Lopera Velásquez En 1950 Colombia fue el único país de América Latina que atendió al llamado de la ONU para apoyar a una nación que históricamente había sido lejana. Los soldados colombianos que pelearon en Corea del Sur y que todavía viven, hoy son ancianos, veteranos de una guerra que incluso ellos luchan por recordar y que muchos en el país ni siquiera conocen. El fin de la Segunda Guerra Mundial le abrió el camino a un conflicto político e ideológico: la Guerra Fría. Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética se disputaban la hegemonía mundial en un estado de relativa calma hasta que, sorpresivamente, Corea del Norte invade el territorio surcoreano con la intención de conquistarlo; se materializó el miedo a la amenaza comunista. ¿Qué razones tuvo Colombia para embarcar a miles de sus hombres en una de las guerras más sanguinarias de la historia moderna? ¿Por qué a tan pocos de sus compatriotas parece importarles? Ahora que ellos mismos sienten perder sus memorias es momento de sacarlas del olvido. Agradecemos a los veteranos Jaime González y Jorge Velásquez y a sus familias, por compartirnos sus historias; a Adela Rojas, hermana de Fabio Rojas, soldado caído en batalla, por los recuerdos familiaries; a Camilo Pérez y el Centro de Estudios Asia Pacífico, de la Universidad Eafit, por ser la voz experta; a Chongwa Chung (Sebastián), por representar la voz del pueblo Surcoreano y sus militares, y a la Fonoteca Nacional, Señal Memoria, por preservar los registros sonoros de los discursos utilizados.

Bryan Caplan and Zach Weinersmith both return to the podcast to discuss their new, non-fiction graphic novel, Open Borders: The Science and Ethics of Immigration. American policy-makers have long been locked in a heated battle over whether, how many, and what kind of immigrants to allow to live and work in the country. Those in favor of welcoming more immigrants often cite humanitarian reasons, while those in favor of more restrictive laws argue the need to protect native citizens. But economist Bryan Caplan adds a new, compelling perspective to the immigration debate: He argues that opening all borders could eliminate absolute poverty worldwide and usher in a booming worldwide economy—greatly benefiting humanity. With a clear and conversational tone, exhaustive research, and vibrant illustrations by Zach Weinersmith, Open Borders makes the case for unrestricted immigration easy to follow and hard to deny.

My guest today is Fabio Rojas, a professor of sociology at Indiana University. Dr. Rojas is an expert who works on the sociology of political movements and social theory. He is the author of several books, including Theory for the Working Sociologist, Party in the Street: The Antiwar Movement and the Democratic Party after 9/11 and From Black Power to Black Studies: How a Radical Social Movement Became an Academic Discipline. He is also currently co-editing Contexts, the official magazine of the American Sociological Association. Today we discussed the economics, sociology, and ethics of immigration and the open borders movement. We are exploring what a world with little to no immigration restrictions might look like and Dr. Rojas’ case for why it would be preferable, both on economic and on ethical grounds. Dr. Rojas addresses some of the most common objections to open borders from the left and the right. He is a very knowledgeable expert on the sociology of immigration as well as a passionate advocate for immigrant rights and that really comes through in our conversation.

Freedom Project Associate Director Luke Sheahan sits down with Indiana University Sociologist Fabio Rojas to discuss immigration, open borders, contemporary libertarianism, and the history of classical liberalism.

On Future Perfect, Vox’s Dylan Matthews tackles provocative ideas with the potential to radically improve the world – ideas like opening up our borders. One of the most reliable, best-documented ways to lift someone in a poor country out of poverty is to let them come to the US (or another rich country). That’s the argument made by Fabio Rojas, a self-described advocate of open borders. "Open borders" is often used as a punching bag by immigration opponents, but Rojas argues it could dramatically reduce poverty without costing Americans jobs. Leon Fresco works to help get real immigration legislation passed. He's very skeptical.

Fabio Rojas returns to the podcast to discuss his work researching social media. He has three main papers on the subject. The first is "More Tweets, More Votes: Social Media as a Quantitative Indicator of Political Behavior," which shows how Twitter activity predicted the outcomes of the 2010 and 2012 US congressional elections. The second is "The social media response to Black Lives Matter: how Twitter users interact with Black Lives Matter through hashtag use" which tracks the spread of the #BlackLivesMatter movement through social media. The third is "Twitter’s Glass Ceiling: The Effect of Perceived Gender on Online Visibility" which shows how Twitter users treat each other differently based on how they perceive each other's gender.

My guest today is Fabio Rojas. He is professor of sociology at Indiana University Bloomington. Fabio is the author of three books, the first is From Black Power to Black Studies: How a Radical Social Movement Became an Academic Discipline, published in 2007. The second book, coauthored with Michael Heaney, is Party in the Street: The Antiwar Movement and the Democratic Party after 9/11, published in 2015. The third book, Theory for the Working Sociologist, was published just recently in 2017. We begin the conversation by talking about the discipline of sociology in general. What should an undergraduate student know about sociology, and furthermore, what should other social scientists know about the field? We discuss the distinct methods that make sociology sociology. Moving on, we discuss the relationship between activism and scholarship, particularly as it pertains to sociology but also as it pertains to black studies, the subject of Fabio's first book.

Michael Heaney and Fabio Rojas are the authors of Party in the Street: The Antiwar Movement and the Democratic Party after 9/11 (Cambridge University Press 2015). Heaney is assistant professor organizational studies and political science at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Rojas is associate professor of sociology at Indiana University, Bloomington. Heaney and Rojas take on the interdisciplinary challenge at the heart of studies of political parties and social movements, two related subjects that political scientists and sociologists have tended to examine separately from one another. What results is a needed effort to synthesize the two social science traditions and advance a common interest in studying how people come together to influence policy outcomes. The particular focus of this work is on how the antiwar movement that grew in the mid-2000s interacted with the Democratic Party. They ponder a paradox of activism that just as activists are most successful – in this case supporting a new Democrat controlled House and Senate in 2006 – the energy and dynamism of the movement often fades away. Heaney and Rojas look to the relationship between antiwar activists and the Democratic Party for answers. They find that in a highly polarized partisan environment, party affiliations come first and social movement affiliations second, thereby slowing the momentum movements generate in their ascendency.
