Public Lecture, "Rethinking Wall Street Rationalities"

This talk is a critical examination of the key assumptions undergirding financial accumulation. In particular, Dr. Ho traces and analyzes how the very concepts of "risk," "reward," and "return" have been utilized to fundamentally transform the very nature and purpose of socio-economic organization in American culture today. She will focus on sites such as corporations and investment funds to understand the processes of financialization and the production of socio-economic inequalities.
