Occupy Wall Street - A Presentation by Karen Ho and Hannah Chadeayne Appel April 26, 2012

Organized by the University of Minnesota's Institute for Advanced Study

On September 17, 2011, people came to Wall Street to protest economic injustice. Today, they remain in Liberty Square engaging in non-violent civil disobedience, saying “Enough! We are the 99% and we have moved to reclaim our mortgaged future.” In this presentation, Anthropologists Karen Ho and Hannah Chadeayne Appel examine the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Karen Ho is Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of Minnesota, and author of Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street. Hannah Appel is an anthropologist, currently a postdoctoral fellow with the Committee on Global Thought at Columbia University. She has been participating in the Occupy Wall Street movement since late September.
