Fabio Rojas
Fabio Rojas received his Ph.D. in Sociology from the
University of Chicago in 2003. His main research interest is organizational
analysis and its intersections with political sociology. His upcoming book,
From Black Power to Black Studies: How a Radical Social Movement Became
an Academic Discipline (The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007), uses
data from the black studies movement to show how social movements generate lasting
organizational change. He has also published in journals such as Social
Forces, Rationality and Society, and the Journal of
Institutional Economics. His new project examines how social movements
adopt the role of formalized lobby with data on the current anti-war
movement. In addition to his research on the black studies movement, Fabio
has published papers and edited volume chapters on computer modeling,
rational choice theory, and economic sociology. He currently teaches
introduction to sociology, economic sociology, social theory and theories of
social organization for graduate students. His leisure time is spent with
his family and his musical pursuits.
