TEDxUSC 2011: Jose Antonio Rosa - Hope and Innovation Among the Next Four Billion
Psychologist Jose Antonio Rosa seeks to understand innovation in its purest form. In his research, he lived amongst the four billion people who sustain on less than $2 a day, communities we know little about, and witnessed the way these people make being innovative, experimental, and creative a way of life and incorporate modern market practices into the business of scavenging, whether its testing products or coming up with guarantees. Rosa explains where hope, healthy delusion, and creative deviance come into play when innovating by hand.

Professor, author, and music critic Josh Kun is looking at music as a form of social action, particularly for the world’s 213 million migrants alienated by militarized borders. To him, the U.S.-Mexico border is not just a fence or a line on a map, but a sonic structure flooded with messages in music. From sound artists who release the border fences’ acoustic properties to music artists writing songs about migrating to a better world, Kun seeks to explain how music and borders are an opportunity for transnational messaging.
