Accordingly, the first part of this dissertation is devoted to providing a legal and social analysis of the practice of wasta. Another …

Interpreting, Stephanie Jo Kent

Doctoral Dissertations

Many will argue for years to come what the occupation has actually done for American society, politics and culture. It is clear though that things are changing. A precipice has been reached and it does not seem that those truly devoted to changing the system will back away quietly. Over the last 28 weeks I have read countless articles and interviews of occupiers from all over the world who have converged on Zuccotti Park in …
