Karen Ho

Karen Ho is an associate professor of Anthropology at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Her research centers on the problematic of understanding and representing financial markets, sites that are resistant to cultural analysis and often disavow various attempts to locate or particularize them. Ho’s ethnography, Liquidated: An Ethnography of Wall Street, was based on three years of fieldwork among investment bankers and major financial institutions. Her latest project analyzes dominant finance’s production of contemporary inequality, tracing the afterlives of corporate liquidation, the worldviews of investment funds, and the relationship between race, gender, and the making of financial markets.
