Hello!

I wanted to extend an invitation to your organization for a rally against
corporate food happening in association with Occupy Wall Street. We will be
convening to protest the corporate rule of our national diet on October 29,
2011.

This event, created by master’s students in Food Studies at NYU, aims
to bring food to the discussions happening down at Wall Street.

Please join us!

His ongoing research concerns processes of social and spatial change in areas affected by hydropower development in Nepal, with a particular focus on changing livelihoods and shifting patterns of migration and mobility. Austin spent over six months conducting fieldwork within Nepal during 2012 and 2013, focusing specifically on the upper watersheds of the Trishuli and Tamakoshi rivers, and he plans to return to Nepal in 2014-2015 to continue and expand this work. Prior to attending Yale, Austin studied Hydrology at Portland State University and received an A.B. in Economics and Studio Art from Dartmouth College.
