It all started with massive downsizing at AT&T. In the mid-1990s, Karen Ho
was studying anthropology as a graduate student at Princeton, searching
for the focus of her dissertation. Ho, now an assistant professor of
anthropology at the University of Minnesota, remembers thinking that
40,000 workers losing their jobs was horrible news. But the stock
market applauded it, sending AT&T shares up.
Karen Ho has explored this culture of Wall Street, how it conflicts with Main Street, and what it means for life after the financial crisis. Get a preview from this recent interview with Star Tribune writer Kara McGuire.
This event is free and open to the public. Join us with your brown bag lunch for this fascinating conversation (drinks provided).
